The bind server package includes everything that's in the bind-utils
package:

% pkg which /usr/local/bin/dig
/usr/local/bin/dig was installed by package bind911-9.11.2_4
% pkg which /usr/local/bin/delv
/usr/local/bin/delv was installed by package bind911-9.11.2_4

So just install bind if you want to use it as a nameserver.
