According to this link
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/1565828/com/bind-libs-9.3.0-1.i386.rpm.html
the missing dependency files should be in the bind-libs package.  You
could be running into the yum bug reported by Axel Thimms on this
list.  You may need to update yum.  Or the packaging was defective and
the files were not included.  To verify that the package is not broken
you can download the package and use rpm to install it.  I would not
try to use the one in the yum cache.  You can, of course, use "yum
clean packages" and try installing bind-libs again.
