That device will serve both domains until we get a new box in and then we will have separate MX records/devices for each domain.  I have created a new zone file and modified named.conf to include the new zone.  When I run named-checkzone, I get a message about the MX record being out of zone and not having an A record.  However, at the end of my named-checkzone output, I get "OK."  Can I restart named as is without causing problems or do I need to address these messages?

It sounds like you're including a record for mx1.olddomain.gov in the newdomain.gov zone.  It's hard to be sure without seeing specifics from your configuration though.
