No, I'm afraid we don't have an official list of step-by-step
instructions. It should be a simple matter of:

- Download the source code and decompress (DON'T USE STUFFIT EXPANDER).

- Follow the instructions that come with it to compile (configure and make).

- Either use the "make install" step and then move the necessary
items from under /usr/local to the correct locations, or else
hand-install.

The items to install are:

/usr/sbin/named
/usr/sbin/named-checkconf
/usr/sbin/named-checkzone
/usr/sbin/rndc
/usr/sbin/rndc-confgen
/usr/bin/dig
/usr/bin/host
/usr/bin/nslookup

Plus any manpages you want. It will install them (as I recall) in
/usr/local/man/*, but Mac OS X expects manpages to be found under
/usr/share/man. For example, the manpage for dig should go in:

/usr/share/man/man1/dig.1
