Ok, let me be more precise, there are options in the old ISC files that are not supported in the new and the new also introduces new options. Of course, whenever possible it is advantageous to reuse keywords and meanings. I do not know if dhclient defaults to ignore the unknown or it chokes and dies. Anyway, the problem may be solved by toggling with the dhclient.conf and OP does not mention any such thing nor it old files have been left from a previous install. Sniffing on the interface (snort -vC -i fxp0) would give some good clues as to where the problem is, maybe no responses get back because the request is blocked? or no requests are sent at all? I don't know if OP have reverted to 5.4 yet.
