your named.conf determines which root hint file is used (bind9 also has 
built-in hints in case you misconfigure your server and don't have one 
specified).

If you follow the bind9 notes, you'll get a conf that uses the db.cache that 
comes with the port (which is a Jan 3, 2013 version - I'll get that updated 
shortly).

You've misdiagnosed the problem. You're most likely seeing these errors because 
the host you're running bind9 on does not have IPv6 access.
