Arrange to have named start and chroot itself to the sandbox by adding the following to /etc/rc.conf:

named_enable="YES"
named_flags="-u bind -g bind -t /etc/namedb /etc/named.conf"

from "man named":
   -g     Run  the  server  in  the  foreground  and  force all logging to
              stderr.
    -c config-file
              Use  config-file  as  the  configuration  file  instead  of  the
              default, /etc/namedb/named.conf. To ensure  that  reloading  the
              configuration  file  continues  to  work  after  the  server has
              changed its working directory due to  to  a  possible  directory
              option in the configuration file, config-file should be an abso-
              lute pathname.


>How-To-Repeat:
	Use instructions from the handbook
>Fix:
the rc.conf entry should read:
named_enable="YES"
named_flags="-u bind -t /etc/namedb -c /etc/named.conf"

I've had to make several other changes to get named to run:

# mkdir /var/named/etc/namedb/var/run/named/
# chown -R bind /var/named/etc/namedb/var

diff named.conf*
11,12d10
< include "./rndc.key";
< 
14c12
<       directory       "/";
---
>       directory       "/etc/namedb";

I would also suggest that 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-bind9.html
should be completely integrated into the previous page, as the majority of 
this page is simply duplication of the former page.
