 Just checked, and a basic install of FC6 (rawhide) doesn't turn this on
 by default either.  Which might explain some of the stupidity I've been
 seeing WRT to networking changes recently on my laptop.

FYI:

No clue if this will get changed, but it wont if it's not requested.

 If you start a VPN, all DNS traffic is funneled to the corporate
 nameservers that the VPN reports back to NM.  If split DNS were running,
 you'd only use the corporate nameservers for addresses ending in the
 corporate domain name that the VPN provided, or ones you specified in
 the VPN config, instead of everything.  Think of it like the split
 routing that we've already got.

Fair enough.  I guess I can wait until this gets integrated in.  I
thought it had already, but I guess not.  Oh well.  A local caching
nameserver is better, anyways.

 I'm running FC5 with the following packages:
 
 NetworkManager-0.6.3-1.fc5
 bind-9.3.2-20.FC5
 bind-config-9.3.2-20.FC5
 
 I have named running, but /etc/resolv.conf still points to the
 DNS server provided by DHCP and not the local caching resolver.
 
 Is there some manual configuration I need to do to get this working,
 other than just setting up named to run at boot?  I would've assumed
 that the bind/bind-config packages would have set the appropriate
 configurations for NM in FC5.  I guess I've assumed wrong, but I can't
 seem to find any instructions for what changes I might need to make to
 get this feature working.

I thought they did; make sure that bind is running with the -D option.
Just checked, and a basic install of FC6 (rawhide) doesn't turn this on
by default either.  Which might explain some of the stupidity I've been
seeing WRT to networking changes recently on my laptop.

Note that split DNS, while possible, isn't quite used yet.  We've got
all the bits in place, just need to hook it up for VPN.

Okay.  I hand-modified /etc/sysconfig/named and added OPTIONS=-D and
now named is reporting dbus service.  Should I file a bug against named
for this?  I have no idea if it should be running with the DBUS service
enabled by default.
