If you still have the source code directory from the 9.3.1 that you
installed from, worse case is just cd to that and run "make install".

Bind doesn't destroy or modify anything with the named.conf or named
directory (usually /usr/local/named), just the binaries.

By hand, if you are using the default path structure (/usr/local), just back
up the relative files in /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib.

Except for the man pages I don't think it places anything elsewhere.

Probably messy but likely if you just grab /usr/local/sbin/named and rndc
from there you can just drop those back if all hell breaks loose.
