I've been pretty happy with the overall quality of the isc dhcpd kit.  The
one we have in ports is the conservative -stable cut of their code, and I
don't know if it comes with a client for us.  I've been running the
development snapshot version for our 2K+ host network and it works pretty
well on the server side.

But you asked about the client; FreeBSD is supported in the development
version as a client - I haven't got around to trying it yet but it is
worth a look.  I believe just in the last few days a new kit has been
released with updated scripts.
