Doug Barton d4984bf979 Update to BIND 9.3.0, the latest from ISC. This version has several
significant updates, not the least of which is the new and improved
DNSSEC code based on the latest standards (including DS).

Various updates to the port, including:
1. Download the PGP signature
2. If running on ${OSVERSION} >= 503000, configure with threads
3. Update pkg-descr re IPv6 RRs
4. Update pkg-message to reflect a world with 6-current

There is also a patch to correct a man page installation error.
This problem should be fixed in the next release.
