OK, I have the symlink:

# ll /var/run/named/pid
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  bind  28 Dec 18 17:27 /var/run/named/pid@ -> /var/named/var/run/named/pid

...and I also have a stale /var/named/var/run/named/pid file; /usr/local/sbin/named from ports seems to be using a /var/named/var/run/named/named.pid file instead.

I'm using default launch args (which end up being "/usr/local/sbin/named -t /var/named -u bind") and not changing the default pidfile location in the named.conf AFAICT.  Tweaking the links seems to make rc.d script work as expected, so that was helpful, thanks.
