You install the port:
# cd /usr/ports/net/bind[89]
# make install clean
And change the /etc/rc.conf to use the new "named" program on startup
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named" # path to port installed named
You leave the base-system's "named" untouched. This procedure saves
you the headache of trashing your version of "named" when you upgrade
your system.
