I have it working with this:

logging {

         channel namedlog {
 	        file "/var/log/nlog";
                 severity info;
                 print-time yes;
                 print-severity yes;
                 print-category yes;
         };
         category default { namedlog; };

};

When I restarted named, the nlog file was created in /var/named/var/log 
automatically:

home# ls -lo /var/named/var/log/nlog
-rw-r--r--  1 bind  wheel  - 1253 Jul 11 11:43 /var/named/var/log/nlog

If I add the flag into rc.conf to shut off chrooting, logging changes to:

   /var/log/nlog
