1-first build
  cd /usr/ports/net/bind9

  make PREFIX=/usr PIDDIR=/var/run DESTETC=/etc/namedb
   DESTEXEC=/usr/libexec DESTRUN=/var/run DESTSBIN=/usr/sbin
   DESTHELP=/usr/share/misc

2-second, kill the existing named


3-third, remove any existing installed bind from the ports before you
  install.  You can find out using pkg_info. use pkg_delete to remove the
  previously installed bind 8.2.3.  Always backup your zone files.

4-install using the same options that you used in building.
  cd /usr/ports/net/bind9

  make PREFIX=/usr PIDDIR=/var/run DESTETC=/etc/namedb
   DESTEXEC=/usr/libexec DESTRUN=/var/run DESTSBIN=/usr/sbin
   DESTHELP=/usr/share/misc install

5-check that you have the correct version installed using /usr/sbin/named
  -v

6-lastly, start bind which can be started from /etc/rc.conf using

  named_enable="YES"
  named_flags="-u bind -g bind"

if you check that logs after starting it, you should the same output as
that from the command /usr/sbin/named -v.
