I'm afraid I don't understand what you're talking about. Bind 8.1.2
builds "out of the box" (make clean; make depend; make) on FreeBSD 2.2.x,
and needs one small patch for FreeBSD 3.x (documented on the ISC errata
page, http://www.isc.org/bind8/errata/8.1.2/patches/).

Note that there are big differences between:

- Installing only named/named-xfer
- Installing everything, including include files, shared libraries etc.

In order to use BIND 8.1.2, you only need named/named-xfer.

I run 8.1.2 on several FreeBSD boxes with zero problems.
