Al, the first thing you want to do is install yum in your vps from the host
node. You would do that from the Host Node with something like this:

 vzyum <vpsid> install yum

<vpsid> being the id of the vps you want to install yum in.

Then I would ssh into the vps and using yum install BIND or at least the
libraries you will need to compile BIND.

You would do that with something like this:

 yum install bind
