On FreeBSD, building software out of the ports is definitely
recommended. It does the usual configure and make dance, but you also
get the benefit of using the package management system, and any OS
specific patches that might need to be applied. (Not that there are
many with BIND).

It's been a while since I ran FreeBSD 8.4 on any nameservers, but I
recall it working fine using the ports version of named and the
configuration files from the base system.
Can you start the named process "by hand" -- the command line should be
something like:
# /usr/local/sbin/named -u bind -c /etc/namedb/named.conf \
-t /var/named
(assuming you want it to run chrooted)
If you've setup named to log to syslog, rather than just writing its own
files, then adding
syslogd_flags="-l /var/named/var/run/log"
to /etc/rc.conf and restarting syslogd may get you some better logging
information.
Cheers,
Matthew
