since DHCP didn't come stock until FreeBSD 3.0, I'd recommend you
install it from ports... maybe isc-dhcp2. I saw isc-dhcp3 has come
out, but I haven't used it yet, so I can't tell you how it works. try
/usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp2 && make install (after you cvsup your ports
to get the most current version of it).
