If I were you I'd update netbsd-3 first and get that settled.  In terms 
of getting the changes into netbsd-3-0 and netbsd-3-1 these are 
'critical/security branches' so you would have to take this up with 
releng and see what they say.

Also why stay with 9.3.x ?  If your going to bother with an upgrade go 
to 9.4.x.

Come up with a patch, test it and submit it.

Only releng can commit to the netbsd-3,3-0 and 3-1 branches.

Try http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/dist/bind/bind2netbsd ?

I don't see that here 
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/dist/bind/?only_with_tag=netbsd-3

These could be security updates - check the CVS logs

If I were you I'd diff the 9.3.2 and 9.3.5 releases from ISC, clean out 
all the RCS cruff, apply it to src/dist/bind and see what happens.

From 9.3.2->9.3.5 I see 747 files changed, 50872 insertions(+), 38216 
deletions(-)

With any luck you'll only have a few conflicts :)
