Clearly, you'd need a program that could do a raw DHCP request using an unconfigured network card. I don't know that there has been that much work towards making FreeBSD a "desktop OS". I think you have to have assigned addresses. Such a thing would certianly be worthwhile. Maybe the WIDE project has something that will do this?
