It's actually not uncommon to run, e.g., rbldnsd on a nonstandard port, and a full nameserver on port 53, which forwards queries to it. Now that's not directly related, as rbldnsd will never need to know the DNSSEC root keys ... but I'm just saying. It is quite possible that somebody will want to run a recursive nameserver and an authoritative nameserver, different packages, on the same host. I wouldn't bother with that, mind you.
