You are running dhcpd as root, aren't you?

It's just that:

It seems that this cronjob is running as user 'operator'. But why would
/usr/libexec/save-entropy be invoking the DHCP server?

I can only guess that the filesystem is seriously toasted. Perhaps you
should reinstall from scratch, and using a fresh CD-ROM or over FTP (you
could install 6.1, although I use isc-dhcpd under 6.0 without any problem)

$ pkg_info -I isc\*
isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.3_1 The ISC Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server
