I'd suggest creating:
/etc/dhclient-enter-hooks
/etc/dhclient-exit-hooks
to do what you want. With -stable you should be able to do everything
you need with ifconfig. Before I used /etc/{start,stop}_if.an0 partially
since the various control programs where slightly different. Now the
basic stuff has been unified. However, even with the dhclient scripts
I need the /etc/stop_if.an0 to reconfigure my machine to operate the
way I want with no network connections.
