Depends on your OS, I think. The "package" command, with the "update" opton,
should download and install the latest supported version.

For configuring with the latest, well, you're going to need to pay attention
to your cookbooks. I'm looking at the bind9 cookbook, and am not personally
thrilled with it, since it seems to be short on configurations for DNS
slaves and the support for reverse DNS is underwhelming. (If I can, I'd like
to bring in the "mkrdns" perl tool for auto-configuring reverse DNS, even
with slave zones for forward DNS. It's very handy!)

Lots of info to read out there. Lots of different views and opinions.
I'd like to hear from the community some of the best ways to have Chef keep
our servers up to date.
For example, our BIND server. I want to use Chef to keep our version of BIND
up to date.
Thanks gang!
