I run serveral DNS servers based on FreeBSD+bind.
One of them is FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE and bind-9.4.
It's public primary server for two zones (one forward and one reverse)
and public secondary for several others; plus it's recursive caching DNS server
for users, low-loaded.

I've just updated ports tree and installed dns/bind96.
/usr/local/sbin/named-checkconf shows no messages at all.

I've restarted bind using ports version. All seems OK. I'll write back if problems arise.
About upgrading bind version in RELENG_7, I'm for it.

Btw, I run one bind96 server/4.11-STABLE for long time
(and even one bind95/4.11-STABLE) and six 6.11-STABLE servers with stock bind93 ;-)
Never had a problem with them.
