(14:36:08) [laszlof at ritamari ~]% grep named /etc/defaults/rc.conf
<..snip..>
named_enable="NO"               # Run named, the DNS server (or NO).
named_program="/usr/sbin/named" # path to named, if you want a different 
one.
named_flags="-u bind"           # Flags for named
<..snip..>

Add the approapriote lines to /etc/rc.conf and you're all set. DO NOT, I 
repeat, DO NOT EDIT /etc/defaults/rc.conf. put overrides for it in 
/etc/rc.conf.
