I've had several questions about my comment regarding IPv6 and bind9.
Here's the text from src/doc/3RDPARTY which describes why NetBSD
includes the version of bind that it does currently.

Package:        bind/named
Version:        8.3.7
Current Vers:   4.9.11/8.3.7/8.4.2/9.2.3
Maintainer:     Paul Vixie <vixie@vix.com>
Archive Site:   ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/
Mailing List:
Responsible:    vixie, itojun
Notes:
bind2netbsd script to import into src/dist/bind.
The Makefiles in src/usr.sbin/bind are not handled by the script.
do not try to use libc resolver from src/usr.sbin/bind, it adds
too much constraint between bind and libc, as well as problem with
_res declaration differences.  DNSSEC portion is disabled.
On switching to BIND9: waiting for the release of 9.3.x, as 9.2.x has
some issues (A6 queries for glue, for instance).
