Hello,

You may be interested in browsing through the CVS repository for BIND
and other packages.  You can learn what version of a port was added originally,
when updates were made, what patches have been applied and a wealth
(OK, maybe just a little) of information about the port.

The web based interface to the  CVS repository is available at:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi

The version of BIND you were interested is available at:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/bind8/distinfo


Best Regards,
