Also see also 
http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-09:12.bind.asc. And either 
be patient or use one of the other methods mentioned to update:

NOTE: Due to this issue being accidentally disclosed early, updated
binaries are yet not available via freebsd-update at the time this
advisory is being published.  Email will be sent to the freebsd-security
mailing list when the binaries are available via freebsd-update.
