If you want to put bind 8.1 in /usr/src, you should at least wait
until 8.1.1 (currently in alpha testing) is released.

Also, the config file format for 8.1 is radically different. Yes, a
conversion script is supplied, but this may still be  stumbling block
for some people.

Aside from that, I'm running 8.1.1 (alpha) on several machines, and
it seems to work just fine.
