Could be a good opportunity to update the whole system, which will be
less prone to further errors on your part.

If you just want to reinstall what you originally got from a fresh
release install, it's probably easier to get it from the distribution
(in whatever form you used for the original install) than to rebuild
it.  

If you really want to rebuild it from source, and not rebuild anything
else, you should be able to do something along the lines of 
"cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/named && make && make install", 
but you may need to set a few other variables, too...

Good luck.
