cygwinports already has the package "bind" with all dnsutils, libs and 
the server. Unfortunately sunsite.dk is down right now.
You would only have to grab the src package, recompile and ITP it.

BTW: The names or the client utils as package vary between bind-tools 
(redhat,fedora), dnsutils (debian), bind-tools (gentoo).
cygwinports has all clients in the bind package, which is bind9.
Which is good for the clients but harder for the server, imho.
host usually has its own package, called bind-host.
