If you can build the port successfully, you can build your own package. `make package' in the appropriate place will do it for you. Note that you will probably have to uninstall BIND first on the build machine, but `make package' will install it and create a binary package for you. You can then put the package on a local ftp server and point pkg_add in its direction or use NFS to share it.
