I currently have two AIX servers running as Master/Slave. I need to
upgrade from v9.8.1-P1 to v9.8.6.   I will need to document an
implementation plan for change control and was hoping someone else may
have something they can share.

I’ve browsed the ISC web site looking for release notes, install/compile
instructions, migration plans, etc without much success.

Here are some links for you:

http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.8.6/RELEASE-NOTES-BIND-9.8.6.txt
https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01054/81/BIND-9.8.6-Release-Notes.html

The brief installation directions are in the tarballs' README file.

Our operating specific hints are at
https://kb.isc.org/category/48/0/10/Software-Products/BIND9/FAQs/Operating-System-Specific/
but none for AIX.

We don't have a migration guide specific for 9.8 series (we do have a 
migration details from 8 to 9). I'd expect that all the configurations 
from 9.8.1 through 9.8.6 are compatible.  The 9.8.6 reference is at 
http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.8.6/doc/arm/Bv9ARM.html
(and in the tarball).

I am working on a chart listing the major features introduces
and any incompatible changes to be aware of for all of our releases. But 
it is not ready yet.

good point. 

Increasing the EDNS0 UDP size might also be an option (default is 1280
for Windows DNS) ->

It is possible to tell some less critical DC to not register themself in
DNS:
