Unless I'm mistaken, BIND has nothing to do with the resolver
library in FreeBSD. The resolver library is part of libc
(/usr/src/lib/libc/net/res_*). BIND is only used to provide the
name server and associated tools (I don't think libbind is installed
at all) .

(Not that this really changes anything about bind should be a port
or if an asynchronous resolver library should be added to the base
system.)
