Read the dhclient.conf man pages.  I think you use the "media"
statement to do it, which lets you list alternate interface
configurations that DHCP should attempt to use until it finds one that
successfully communicates with a DHCP server.  I don't remember the
details, but it has come up before, so you might be able to find an
example by searching the mailing list archives.  Maybe even in the
Handbook.

The ifconfig_xxx statements in rc.conf are just the arguments that get
sent to ifconfig, so you can put your wep settings in rc.conf that
way, but at the present time I don't think that method lets you
configure WEP and also use DHCP (I've read rumors that it will in the
future).
