What's this for?

This looks wrong.  What I have is:

zone "197.109.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "lemishosts.reverse";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "localhost.reverse";
};

The first is the reverse lookup for my domain, which is what you seem
to be missing.  localhost.rev[erse] is typically the name for the
reverse lookup file for 127.0.0.1.  I'd guess that this is your
problem.  If you've only removed named.conf, you should find a reverse
domain file in the directory; just do something like my example.

This is all described in much more detail in "The Complete FreeBSD".
