The 4.5-RELEASE version on the CD-ROMs (cvs tag RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE)
had bind-8.2.4 according to CVS:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/bind/Version?rev=1.1.1.3.2.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=RELENG_4_5

That has been updated to bind-8.3.3 on the RELENG_4_5 branch
(4.5-RELEASE-pN) as a consequence of the security bugs detailed in
FreeBSD-SA-02:28.resolv --- upgrading is strongly recommended.

PS. to query the version of named running on a server you can do:

    dig @servername.dom.ain version.bind CHAOS TXT

but a lot of admins will refuse access to that information.
