I've tried to build it from the BIND source on at least one occasion. The build succeeded, but host and dig both hung in an unpleasant way that required me to kill their parent shells. IIRC other people have tried it and gotten similar results. But that was more than a year ago that I tried-- it would be worth trying again. As Christopher says, if we can get the executables to run, then packaging them isn't hard.
