Recommended? It's more a personal preference thing, isn't it?
If so can this be accomplished using the

No. Portupgrade will upgrade 8.3 to 8.4.
or should a different method be used like downloading

No. Use the ports. Make backups of your .conf and .zone files. Then go
to /usr/ports/dns/bind8/ and make deinstall. Then go to
/usr/ports/dns/bind9/ and make install clean. Then read the pkg-message
and follow the instructions in it. You'll have to enable bind in rc.conf.
Make sure you *read* the instructions.
