If you use the port version without flags, it will look for files in
/usr/local/etc (as indicated in the man page, although you probably can't
see it because the system man page for named is in the way). The port
definitely doesn't create a named.conf file for you, although the one in
/etc/namedb/ will work as a start. You could also create a symlink in
/usr/local/etc to /etc/namedb/named.conf.

If you'd prefer to replace the system version of bind with the one from
the port, then use the PORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND8 compile option for the
port.

Hope this helps,

Doug
