I haven't used FreeBSD in a while, but it sounds like you're making a mess out of your system.

In FreeBSD (and the other BSDs as well), the binaries in /sbin, /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/sbin are part of the base system. Randomly overwriting them is a bad idea.

A binary upgrade from one release of the operating system to another will now be a lot trickier. Should you need or want to patch or rebuild from source, the base system named will clobber the port version that you installed in /usr/sbin.

On the other side of things, the package manager won't be able to properly uninstall or upgrade the bind port/package, since files which it installed in /usr/local have been relocated behind its back.

Regards,
Alister

This result:
Code:
bind96 not installed, skipping

I don't know why not installed
Because the bind that's in /usr/sbin is not part of the ports/packages system. It is part of the base system.

(I've assumed that you meant "deinstall" instead of "install" in that make command.)

ipa-replica-prepare

ipa-replica-prepare(1)						 IPA Manual Pages					    ipa-replica-prepare(1)

NAME

       ipa-replica-prepare - Create an IPA replica file

SYNOPSIS

       ipa-replica-prepare [OPTION]... hostname

DESCRIPTION

       Generates a replica file that may be used with ipa-replica-install to create a replica of an IPA server.

       A replica can only be created on an IPA server installed with ipa-server-install (the first server).

       You  must  provide  the fully-qualified hostname of the machine you want to install the replica on and a host-specific replica_file will be
       created. It is host-specific because SSL server certificates are generated as part of the process and they are  specific  to  a	particular
       hostname.

       If IPA manages the DNS for your domain, you should either use the --ip-address option or add the forward and reverse records manually using
       IPA plugins.

       Once the file has been created it will be named replica-hostname. This file can then be moved across the network to the target machine  and
       a new IPA replica setup by running ipa-replica-install replica-hostname.

       A replica should only be installed on the same or higher version of IPA on the remote system.

OPTIONS

       --dirsrv_pkcs12=FILE
	      PKCS#12 file containing the Directory Server SSL Certificate and Private Key

       --http_pkcs12=FILE

       -p DM_PASSWORD, --password=DM_PASSWORD
	      Directory Manager (existing master) password

       --ip-address=IP_ADDRESS
	      IP address of the replica server. If you provide this option, the A and PTR records will be added to the DNS.

       --reverse-zone=REVERSE_ZONE
	      The reverse DNS zone to use

       --no-reverse
	      Do not create reverse DNS zone
