I'm abpout to modify 'configure' and 'make/rules.in' to make that
automatic, and I hope I get time to send in the [relatively simple]
mods.  For the time being, do this:

	Pick an empty directory in which to "install" the package,
	e.g., "/tmp/bind9".

	In make/rules.in, change
		DESTDIR =
	to
		DESTDIR = /tmp/bind9
	using, of course, the directory name you have chosen.

	Determine whether you had been installing BIND 8 in, e.g.,
	/usr/bin and /usr/sbin or /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin.

	If you have done a previous 'configure' or 'make', run 'make
	clean' and remove config.h, config.log, config.cache,
	config.status, and isc-config.sh.  I'm sure that some of this
	does NOT have to be removed, but I'm trying to go back to
	something closer to the original state.

	Run 'configure' using the appropriate prefices, e.g.:
		cd /usr/src/import/bind-9.2.1
		./configure --prefix=/usr ...

	Run 'make' and 'make install' - should put it in the chosen
	directory.  "Should".  I haven't actually gotten BIND 9 to
	do this yet, but I've decided that's how it will work, today.
	;-)

	cd /tmp/bind9; tar cf - . | gzip > /tmp/bind9.tgz
