libxml2-dev is a Linuxism. Typically on Linux the package without -dev includes
just the library object, while the -dev includes the headers needed to compile with it.

On FreeBSD, typically the packages (ie. textproc/libxml2) contains both.

According to Freshports, https://www.freshports.org/dns/bind914/

the BIND9.14 package (which is the one you _really_ ought to be using,
although it is the same for 9.11), builds with libxml2 automatically, no
extra configuration options required.

So, it should be ready to go for what you need out of the box? If you needed JSON,
you would need to configure that lib in with the options.
