The API hasn't changed (the only kernel change added a notification to
devd), but the rc.d scripts have changed to the point that I'm not sure
the ISC code will work with them.  I suspect you would get pretty close
if you brought back the old dhclient script, added the nostart keyword,
and commented out the new devd entry.
