For incrementing your zone's serial number, I usually include zsu to whatever editor I am using. It doesn't check the zone though. You can use the aforementioned named-checkzone, etc. for that.

Apart from using Bernstein's tinydns, anyone have any scripts
for looking for problems in zone files or for incrementing the
serial number reliably?

Check out BIND's named-checkzone and named-compilezone, depending on exactly what you are looking for. There are a number of command line parameters for fine tuning what you care about, and you can use the return value to determine if the zone is valid or not.

As for the serial number, that is some simple scripting depending on what value you use for the serial number.
