It should be available in the package source collection.

In addition, BIND should be available in the default installation.

In most cases, the pkgsrc collection is supposed to be useable for older
versions and recent versions of NetBSD. I haven't used the bind9 package
under 1.4.2 (or 1.4.1), so I don't know if it works, but I assume it
does. (If it doesn't build, let us know the details.)

Also, it is probably not a good idea to use an old BIND package or old
BIND included with 1.4.1 (or 1.4.2). It has a few bugs.
