Here is what I ended up with:

ifconfig_re0="up"
cloned_interfaces="bridge0 tap0"
ifconfig_bridge0="DHCP addm re0 addm tap0"
synchronous_dhclient="YES"

The bridge did not receive an address automatically without
synchronous_dhclient set. I guess SYNCDHCP would be equivalent.

Thanks for your pointer.
