So,

This is just a start, but you get the idea.
Important consideration: We still want the resolver of course, and ns
tools. Really what we don't want is named. So should this be NO_NAMED
instead?
On the other hand, anyone making use of this option would only do so
because they've installed bind8 (Port or by hand.) They wouldn't need
libs installed by the system, since they'll have them already. In this
case, NO_BIND is better.
This brings up another issue: PATHs. The whole reason I thought this
mess up was I didn't want two versions of every bind tool. (Weird, and
while looking for an example, I've found that the system nslookup is in
/usr/sbin, and the port version is in /usr/local/bin.) There are features
in the latest release that I want, and I don't want to rearrange my PATH
to look in /usr/local/* first.
And finally, would this require the cooperation of the bind8 Port
Maintainer? (eg, install local named.re[start|load]'s with correct
paths to ndc and such.)
Any chance that something like this might be possible?

I was thinking about this too! In my case, I made a hack to dump(8),
but I really doubt there is the call to make a NO_DUMP switch.
What I am doing is building a tree of customized utilities under
/usr/local/src; one that mirrors the structure of /usr/src. Right now,
I just go in before a buildworld and,
# cd /usr/src/sbin
# mv dump dump.dist
# ln -s /usr/local/src/sbin/dump .
And the buildworld makes my custom dump!
Now, if I had more things like that, I could easily (prolly) script
such a procedure or even design a /usr/local/src/Makefile to do all
that for me.
And for those who just don't want something built, they can put a "null"
entry in the /usr/local/src tree.
It seems like this might actually be something useful to a lot of
people now that a few others have asked. It would not be too difficult
to make the generic buildworld use the /usr/local/src tree in this way
automatically. I don't see what problems it could cause either. If you
didn't have a /usr/local/src, buildworld would be exactly like it is
now.
Just an idea... that I now wonder if someone may have proposed before?
(And for some reason was not added.)
