Is LDNS an alternative *authoritative* name server? If so, any good
tutorials out there?

not from what i have seen its more of a toolset for dns programming. Have a
look at unbound though as that is a caching resolver, with authoritative
capabilities, and is built on ldns. Its also part of freebsd 10 base system

What you are looking for is nsd:
http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/projects/nsd/

"NSD is an authoritative only, high performance, simple and
open source name server."

Migration and Setup howtos are spread over the net.

In an earlier thread, I had been told that Unbound was resolver ONLY.

You can set static records in unbound's config if you need to override some records or provide them locally, but it's tedious and not designed for public authoritative use.

generally yes but i does support some form of authoritative data, check out
stub-zones. Its not really geared up for it though so probably best to use
nsd
