Yes. Define a zone with the name you want.

        zone "foo.example.com" {
        	type master;
        	file "db.foo.example.com";
        };

Then in that zone definition:

        $TTL 3D
        foo.example.com. SOA example.com. hostmaster.example.com. \
        	2005092201 86400 900 86400 3600
        foo.example.com. NS  your.bind.server.
        foo.example.com. A   127.0.0.1

I'm doing that for a few zones, actually. The one caveat is that
subdomain.foo.example.com will *not* work. Generally speaking, that
shouldn't be a problem.
