Renaud sent the following work-around. Worked like a charm. BTW, 2.09 has really fantastic performance/reliability enhancements on OSX.
From Renaud:
..does replacing :
#include <arpa/nameser.h>
by
#include <arpa/nameser_compat.h>
In nessus-libraries/libhosts_gatherer/hg_dns_axfr.c solve the issue ?
(remove the #ifdef/#endif around it if needed)
