This is what we do.

We do offer the option to have BIND listening elsewhere, but we
(optionally) have an auto generated include file containing the zones in
named.conf pointing to a non default localhost port, and BIND always
listening on that port.

This keeps the unbound config clean, we just run the generation script and
unbound-control reload as part of the BIND reconfiguration process.  I'm
sure you could parse the NSD config similarly.
