Yes, of course -- you'll have to set things up in your rc files (so
that dhcp_client ethernet_device happens at bootup).  But other than
that, I can't think of anything right now.  My experience was -- it's
*that easy*!  :-)  I just read through a bunch of articles via
freebsd.org's mailing list archive with 'dhcp' in the subject header
and found out what I needed to.

As I'd mentioned before, I'm using the wide-dhcp port.  I plan on
switching to ISC's dhcpc when they release a "finished" version of
2.0.
