You should start it by:
echo 'named_enable="YES"' >>/etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.d/named start

This should by default create the symlink and populate the chroot directory. 
If there is already a directory /etc/namedb or a file /etc/namedb it will 
warn you.

Have a look at /etc/rc.d/named and the named_ variables 
in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
