I have done this. But in a slightly different fassion.

Linking files and directories can be messy and is effectivly "hacking" the
problem. You should recompile a new version.

try this;

1. Download the latest stable bind 8.2.X from http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/

2. unzip the file with tar -xzvf bind-src*

3. in the ports directory there is a freebsd section. 

4. in Makefile.set you can define all the compilation variables such as bin
location. Descriptions are in the INSTALL file under the src directory.

5. I sent mine to check the /etc directory for the named.conf file,
/usr/local/sbin for named bins.     /usr/libexec for named-xfer.

It works well. A also updated the man files by downloading the docs and running
make install from the /doc/man directory


Also check out the procmon utility on 

http://netclub.chinascape.cn.net/sa/htmfiles/0405/x0018.htm

this is good for ensuring that DNS will always be working. As this flavour of
unix does not use an inittab file.
