You don't. An interface is not configured to use DHCP by
modifying "dhclient.conf". The dhclient.conf file is used by
dhclient to find out *options* for interfaces that are configured
to use "DHCP" in the "/etc/rc.conf" file. The rc.conf file is
the one you have to edit & make sure that it contains something
like:
ifconfig_ath0="DHCP"
Then, when dhclient *is* started for 'ath0' it will read the file
/etc/dhclient.conf looking for a matching set of options.
