I can't follow your point... Are you going to run TWO named daemons? I can't
see why you're doing this. master and slave are configured in named.conf and
doesn't matter where you're going to start the daemon from, besides, the
named daemon can process both master and slave zone at the same time, you
don't have to run TWO named daemons.

try to make yourself clearer, I suspect I failed to understand the idea...
:(

as for starting named from rc.conf here is a record from my rc.conf

###     BIND 9.1.2
named_enable="YES"
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"
named_flags="-t /etc/namedb"
