You need to come up with a better argument than "we did it that way for
8 years".

BIND 9 is a completely different code base than BIND 8.  Importing
BIND 9 over BIND 8 would be very confusing from the point of view
of CVS history.  BIND 8 will be with the 4.x branch for a long time
still (e.g. I'm projecting May 2006 before we stop issuing security
advisories for 4.x).  It is very welcome that there will not be
entangled/interleaved history between FreeBSD 4.x/BIND 8 commits and
FreeBSD 5.x/BIND 9 commits.

Out of the 1,189 BIND 8 files and 2,100 BIND 9 files, there are only 8
files that are in the same place.  It would cause a confusing mess to
import this over src/contrib/bind and it would offer no benefit that I
can see.

Cheers,
