I use the bind that's in the base system on one internal nameserver at
home (kinda handy if one has several boxes). Anyway, the thing works
fine.

It would be possible to rip out bind, but one has to leave the libraries
that come with it (libisc et al) intact, since some of the programs in
usr.bin/usr.sbin use that.
