Use freebsd-update command which is used to fetch, install, and rollback binary updates to the FreeBSD base system. You can also use sysinstall to update system. Read man pages for further information.

jimbo,

There is binary update method, it will only work if you are not using custom kernel.

RyAn,

Do you have up to date FreeBSD source tree?

Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

Since you’re upgrading BIND, you might as well upgrade rndc, too. How about adding this to your “make” section?
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/rndc # make obj && make depend && make && make install
