I addressed the utils in a previous message, but once more ...

ldns (a dependency of unbound) comes with drill, which is a dig-alike
tool. I'd like to see us produce a host-alike based on ldns as well,
which should be a pretty simple "junior hacker task" for a motivated group.

If those don't do it for you, ports/dns/bind-tools already exists.
