Install isc-dhcpd from the ports.

Read this man page to understand how to set up your config:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dhcpd.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.2-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html

As a side note, 4.3 is getting rather old ... it would be wise to upgrade
to 4.9 asap.
