Did you tried the port in net/wide-dhcp ? I assume it has all the proper
patches to compile it.

You MUST have BPF into your kernel and some devices made in /dev to run
DHCP. That means:
- add "pseudo-device bpfilter N" in your kernel configuration file and
recompile,
- go into /dev and "sh MAKEDEV bpf0" .. "sh MAKEDEV bpfN".
