Since you're running FreeBSD 8.4, you will still have the startup
scripts from the base system -- /etc/rc.d/named These are quite capable
of starting up the ports version of named. Just set
named_command="/usr/local/sbin/named"
in /etc/rc.conf
Actually, given you *aren't* using the ports, where did
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/named come from? That's supplied exclusively by the
port.

There should be a symbolic link /etc/namedb -> /var/named/etc/namedb if
you're using the standard chroot setup in FreeBSD 8.4. The default
location for rndc.conf is /etc/namedb/rndc.conf but again, there would
usually be a symlink /etc/rndc.conf -> /etc/namedb/rndc.conf (which
means the actual location after chasing all the symlinks is
/var/named/etc/namedb/rndc.conf) Similarly for rndc.key if you are
using that instead.
I usually added another symlink /usr/local/etc/rndc.conf ->
/etc/namedb/rndc.conf when using the ports version of named with the
system versions of the named configuration scripts.
Cheers,
Matthew
