Not per base only, I think.
The standard answer seems to be "install dnsmasq".

Your best option might be looking into incron and/or monit. Then you can
monitor for (immediate/realtime) changes to /var/db/dhcpd.leases and act
accordingly against unbound.
It will involve scripting and parsing, and you'll be at the mercy of
non-base tools, but it should be doable.

Let us know if you cook something up. I'm going to give it a shot myself –
one day.

Kind regards
