The ms.omniti.com bind server package does not have the smf configuration,
I had the same problem a while ago.

I ended up installing the one in uulm.mawi repo, these are the notes from
my documentation to get it running:

# pkg set-publisher -g http://scott.mathematik.uni-ulm.de/release uulm.mawi

Verify the repo is enabled:

# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER                             TYPE     STATUS   URI
omnios                                origin   online
http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/release/
uulm.mawi                             origin   online
http://scott.mathematik.uni-ulm.de/release/

Then we can install it with:

# pkg install service/network/dns/bind

This will install bind but it is not enabled by default. Fortunately this
is very easy. First find the service name:

# svcs -a | grep dns
disabled       13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/install:default
disabled       13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/client:default
disabled       13:21:45 svc:/network/dns/multicast:default
disabled       14:29:16 svc:/network/dns/server:default

The last one looks like the right one, so we enable it with

# svcadm enable dns/server
# svcs -a | grep dns
disabled       13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/install:default
disabled       13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/client:default
disabled       13:21:45 svc:/network/dns/multicast:default
online         14:30:50 svc:/network/dns/server:default

This bind package has a file /etc/named.conf.sample, so we copy that to
/etc/named.conf and modify it to your liking. For a caching server the only
change you probably need to do is adapt the allow-recursion parameter to
match your network

# svcadm disable dns/server
# svcadm enable dns/server

Hope this helps.
