I would suggest sticking with BIND 8.  The BIND 4 tree is being deprecated.
You'll find extensive instructions on the new syntax at:
  http://www.isc.org/bind8/

Also, BIND 8 comes with a Perl filter which should be able to convert your
old named.boot to the new syntax.  If you installed the source tree, it
should be /usr/src/contrib/bind/bin/named/named-bootconf.pl
