Nick:

Check where the new version has been installed, then modify the named lines
in /etc/rc.conf accordingly.

For example (assuming it went into /usr/local/sbin) :

named_enable="YES"                      # Run named, the DNS server (or NO).
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"   # path to named. (bind 9.2.1)
named_flags="-c /etc/namedb/named.conf" # Flags for named
