I've built it from the ports and from src.  You can use the flags
in rc.conf just fine either way.

The only "problem" that I can say I've run into is other people who
have broken DNS.  Bind 9 is more of a stickler for the standards
than 8 was, so there's a lot of DNS servers out there that were set
up until they worked, not until they were right.  Trying to convince
these people that they're broken, especially when it works for the
majority of the rest of the internet, is frustrating, to say the
least.
