Don't know if this will help, but took a quick look at my box here at home 
and have the following in my rc.conf - but I don't have logging turned on 
with this machine. Note the last line. So the logs should be in 
/var/named/var/log

named_enable="YES"
named_program="/usr/sbin/named"
named_chrootdir="/var/named"
