Well, you could always check the FreeBSD cvs repository to see who
imported dhclient (a hint, it's brooks), and drop him an email...
And as the last status report says:
OpenBSD dhclient
Contact: Brooks Davis <brooks@FreeBSD.org>
Contact: Sam Leffler <sam@FreeBSD.org>
The OpenBSD rewrite of dhclient has been imported, replacing the ISC
dhclient. The OpenBSD client provides better support for roaming on
wireless networks and a simpler model of operation. Instead of a
single dhclient process per system, there is one per network
interface. This instance automatically goes away in the even of link
loss and is restarted via devd when link is reacquired. To support
this change, many aspects of the network interface configuration
process were overhauled.
Support for adding aliases to DHCP configured interfaces has been
committed to CURRENT and will be merged before 6.1-RELEASE. Soon work
will begin to merge changes from OpenBSD that have taken place since
the initial import.
Work on further interface configuration enhancements is underway for
FreeBSD 7.0.
and both -arch and -current are good places to raise the topic...
Good luck in bring things back together...
