Do you have:
local_unbound_enable="YES"
in /etc/rc.conf?

Heh. Yes, dig is no longer in the base system in 10.x. I reflexively
install bind-tools nowadays.

OK, this isn't good. I suspect this is the cause of your problems.
Try this.
# sysrc local_unbound_enable=YES
# service local_unbound setup
# service local_unbound start
and try again with drill(1). If there is still no joy, let us know what
the contents of /etc/resolv.conf and /var/unbound/forward.conf are.

Apart from the line wrapping having gone a bit wonky (cut'n'paste
error?) this looks fine.
Cheers,
