Possibly. But /usr/pkg is just a pfs null mount. Shouldn' t that get 
mounted before /etc/rc.d/named9 gets run?

Wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the pointer.

Good point again :-). Havn't thought about it so far but it makes sense 
to remove it from defaults/rc.conf if it is not part of base anymore.

If I don't set it named refuses to start with:
Apr 12 21:58:49 epia named[49440]: none:0: open: /etc/named.conf: file 
not found

I was wondering about that one, too. Command is set in named9, right. 
But if you don't set it like this, you will get
/etc/rc.d/named9: INFO: run_rc_command: cannot run (/usr/sbin/named).
It picks up named_program from default/rc.conf still. This will not be 
necessary as soon as named_program is removed from defaults/rc.conf, I 
just tested this.

Many roads will get you to the finish :-). If you pkg_radd will 
BIND_USER and BIND_GROUP in mk.conf still be taken into account? If you 
have to switch back you have to issue a "chown -R bind /etc/namedb" with 
my approach. I'd think the effort is about the same.

Thanks for the input!
