I believe you have to regenerate your localhost files.  cd to
/var/named/etc/namedb and /bin/sh make-localhost  This should stop at
least the above error.

Take a look at the following link, there is a section on what you have
to do with named during an upgrade. 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/migration-guide.html
Note that your config files need to be moved from /var/named to
/var/named/etc/namedb
FYI i start BIND 9 in sandbox with "/etc/rc.d/named start" It looks
easier than typing all that you typed ;)  Hope this helps
