Yes, there is a way: from the named.conf(5) man page:
forward
A forward zone is used to direct all queries in it to other servers,
as described in THE OPTIONS STATEMENT section. The specification of
options in such a zone will override any global options declared in
the options statement.
If either no forwarders clause is present in the zone or an empty list
for forwarders is given, then no forwarding will be done for the zone,
cancelling the effects of any forwarders in the options statement.
Thus if you want to use this type of zone to change only the behavior
of the global forward option, and not the servers used, then you also
need to respecify the global forwarders.
