I can change named_enable="YES" to named_enable="NO" in the /etc/rc.conf file.
Should I delete the following line from the /etc/rc.conf file that says:
named_flags="-u bind -g bind"
or is it fine to leave it?

I have a FreeBSD server that, among other things, used to provide DNS for

throughout the day. How do I turn off the DNS processes on the old
machine and stop it from starting every time the machine boots?
Look for named_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and change the "YES" to "NO".
This is for the standard built-in Bind. If some other way to start has been
scripted manually, in say /etc/rc.local you'll need to look there. The third
possibility is if some add on version from ports has been installed the
start up script location should be in /usr/local/etc/rc.d - if this is the
case and it utilizes the standard rc.subr startup system the first thing
mentioned above should have taken care of it. If there is some other kind of
manually created hard-coded script in /etc/local/etc/rc.d it will either
need to be deleted or chmod to not execute.

I would suggest that you remove both lines.
named is off by default in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
