Sometimes when I change to a fresh install, I'd like to know of any shortcuts I may have forgotten to port over; that way when I change computers I can quickly port my bind file preferences over. I'd like to know if there's any history keeping of users changing their bind to anything from default linux. Or if I could just simply export my bind file from my old computer and do the diff with the new one and check for changes myself.

Short answer: No
There is nothing pre-installed. There is nothing that you can do after they are changed.
Long answer: Yes. Install a revision control system, and use it.
You did not say where the files are.
For /etc
Use etc keeper, with another revision control system (it is not a revision control system but it uses one to keep track of what is happening in /etc, and integrates with the package manager, so keeps notes of what you have changed and what the package manager has changed.
For other files
Use a revision control tool: such as mercurial. Some will tell you to use git, but it is hard to use. There is also subversion.
