Thank you for this answer. When I go to /usr/ports/dns/bind9/ and issue
portinstall I get:

[Gathering depends for dns/bind9  done]
--->  Installing 'bind9-9.3.4.1' from a port (dns/bind9)
--->  Building '/usr/ports/dns/bind9'
===>  Cleaning for bind9-9.3.4.1
cd /usr/ports/dns/bind9 && make config;

then there's an option screen where I selected to replace the default bind
with the version form port which led to:

make: don't know how to make
/usr/ports/dns/bind9/work/.build_done.bind9._usr_local. Stop
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/dns/bind9.
** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa
/tmp/portinstall.12022.0 env make
** Fix the problem and try again.
** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
        ! dns/bind9     (unknown build error)
--->  Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed

Not sure what to do about it. Thanks for any advice.
