I think a real solution would be more sophisticated than this, but it's a starting point.

In addition to the BCPs already mentioned by Sean and Nathan, a good detection/classification/traceback system plus S/RTBH can be helpful, and there are commercial DDoS mitigation services/scrubbers available from various SPs/vendors which have DNS-specific functionality, as well. Blocking TCP/53 is definitely not an optimal solution, as many have already pointed out.
