I've seen the exact same thing on my dual AMD64 caching name server,  
I can only think it is something to do with the Dual CPU's, bind  
9.3.1 and FreeBSD 5.4, even an upgrade to stable as of a week ago  
hasn't fixed it, so for now I have a wrapper script that looks for 99+ 
% cpu usage and then kill -9 and /etc/rc.d/named start . I'd love to  
get to the bottom of it, but know one has  come across this before it  
seems.

Have a look at my posts on heavy named problems in late may.

Cheers,

Mark
