to close the thread, and for the record/archives:

on fbsd 4.11, I added to /boot/loader.conf:

kern.maxdsiz="1073741824"

giving this result:

#limits
Resource limits (current):
   cputime          infinity secs
   filesize         infinity kb
   datasize          1048576 kb <<<<<<<<<
   stacksize           65536 kb
   coredumpsize     infinity kb
   memoryuse        infinity kb
   memorylocked     infinity kb
   maxprocesses         5547
   openfiles           11095
   sbsize           infinity bytes
   vmemoryuse       infinity kb

BIND memory footprint has been flirting with 600 MB for several days 
with no problems.  Slightly over 2M cache records when "rndc dumpdb" 
and counted.
