I don't think so.
Only a fraction of my servers ever needed BIND.
And where we need it, we're happy to install a port of it (which has a
lot of OPTIONS, which I saw for the first time only recently...)


I can see the point for somebody who is running dozens of BIND-servers,
though.
Tracking BIND-updates via freebsd-update was/is probably quite
convenient.

But, I have to say: if you do a major version upgrade, don't read the
release-notes (which will mention the absence of BIND, I assume) and
don't do a test-run of the upgrade on a non-critical-system, maybe you
shouldn't be running a nameserver at all in the first place. And BIND
even less so, IMHO.
