No. Never. :-) seriously, there are very few times when you need to reboot
a FreeBSD machine, in my experience.

kill -hup on named should work. (The easiest way to do this is "ndc
reload".  If you think that hasn't worked, try "ndc restart", which will
kill and restart the named daemon. Note that ndc is in /usr/sbin, which
might not be in your PATH, just say /usr/sbin/ndc if ndc alone doesn't
work. man ndc for more info.)
