Yes, named-xfer under FreeBSD works fine.  Also note that sufficiently 
modern versions of named will support the dynamic update protocol used 
by M$ clients.

Add something like the following to named.conf

zone "example.com" {
         type slave;
         file "example.com";
	 masters { _IP_of_M$_NS_ ; };
};

...and configure the M$ box to permit zone transfers from the FreeBSD 
system.
