freevsd already supports this ability with the mod_bind set of commands. You need a server on which bind and freevsd have been installed (no need for skels as the machine is a nameserver not a hosting server) - also look at the brief mod_bind-HOWTO in the source distribution for additional configuration. You can then issue a bind_addvs command to this nameserver and this will allow a virtual server owner to manage their own DNS entries (through a suitable interface web/windows) via bind_add/bind_list/bind_mod commands.
port redirection for Apache is done using iptables (2.4 kernel) or vsdredirect (2.2 kernel).
