That's what you say.

And that's what I see. I doesn't even made a backup of old named.conf. 
All files named `named.conf.*` (except for `*.sample`) are mine and 
weren't touched by port.

I filed a bug and it was closed:

UPDATING states that:

20131209:
   AFFECTS: users of dns/bind96, dns/bind98 and bind99 on FreeBSD 10.0
   AUTHOR: erwin at FreeBSD.org

   Bind versions before 9.6.3.2.ESV.R10_2, 9.8.6_2, and 9.9.4_2 on
   FreeBSD 10.0 will replace named.conf on upgrade.  Make sure to
   backup any local changes before upgrading to the _2 versions.

But this doesn't happen only on port upgrade, any time bind is installed 
it wipes old config.
