Just create a perl or shell script that appends lines to the /etc/named/records 
file. This way you can still use the GUI later.

Here is an example I often use to set up DNS:

#!/bin/sh
echo mx - $1 High mail.$1 >> records
echo mx www $1 High mail.$1 >> records
echo a mail $1 $2 24 >> records
echo a - $1 $2 24 >> records
echo a www $1 $2 24 >> records
echo a localhost $1 127.0.0.1 >> records
echo soa - $1 ns1.direct5.net:ns2.direct5.net:hostmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx:14400:3600:
604800:86400 - >> records

use it as:

./newdns <domainname> <ipaddress>

Don't forget to change the soa line  (use you own nameservers)
