There is no clean way to uninstall BIND 8 as it is built with the OS. If this 
is going to be a permanent DNS server, I would set "NO_BIND=true" in your 
/etc/make.conf. This will prevent the building and installation of BIND 8 
when you build/installworld.

Just specify the path to named in your /etc/rc.conf to point to the version of 
named you wish to run. So, set named_program in /etc/rc.conf to 
/usr/local/sbin/named.
