True. :-)

1) Make a copy of the bind 9 configuration directory.
2) Uninstall the bind 8 port.
3) Rebuild "world" per Handbook chapter 20.4. This will
reinstall bind 9.

Assuming the file esists, this smells like a permissions issue.
May we see a directory liting for the file, like this:
-rwx------ 1 root wheel 3346 Sep 19 01:19 named.conf
As for apache, may we see a directory listing for everything in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d?
