There are no environment variables. You have several choices in terms of
config. If you choose the WITH_PORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9 option, the binaries
will all look for their configs by default in /etc/namedb, as well as
overwriting the stuff in /usr. (You should add the NO_BIND option to
/etc/make.conf if you choose to do this.)
If you prefer to install the port under PREFIX, that's fine too. By default
it will look for its config in /usr/local/etc, but you can override that
location with a -c command line.

There was life before rc.d you know. :) All you have to do is put the right
variables in /etc/rc.conf[.local] and it will start at boot. I have the
following:
syslogd_flags="-ssv -l /var/named/dev/log"
named_enable="yes"
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"
named_flags="-u bind -t /var/named -c /etc/namedb/named.conf"
Obviously I have it chrooted in /var/named, just like it is on RELENG_5 and
later. Whatever directory you put the config files in, make sure that you
have the corresponding "directory" entry in named.conf, otherwise you run
the risk of rndc (or even named) getting confused.
hth,
Doug
