The OP could just wait a few weeks and upgrade to one of the 5.3 BETAs
-- or wait a month and a half and upgrade to 5.3-RELEASE, where BIND9
will be the default resolver in the system.

Ummm... PORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9 generally means that the port uses
/usr as ${PREFIX} rather than the normal value of /usr/local -- that
means it will fight with the base system over which owns those files.
The instructions below only apply if you *don't* use
PORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9.

If you're going to use PORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9, then you should
certainly set NO_BIND=yes in /etc/make.conf. However, my advice would
be /not/ to use PORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9: just install the port under
/usr/local as usual, and adjust the make.conf settings as above. You
can add NO_BIND=yes to make.conf or not, as you like.

If you install BIND9, you can run it chrooted without having to
install all of the bind executables under the chroot area: just use a
rc.conf setting like:
named_flags="-c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind -t /var/named"
and set up the chroot area under /var/named as needed. See the
instructions at:
http://www.losurs.org/docs/howto/Chroot-BIND.html
which needs a bit of interpretation as those are instructions for
Linux, and FreeBSD does things a little differently.
Cheers,
Matthew
