You need to enable the Berkley Packet Filter in the kernel.

pseudo-device bpf 4  <-- put something like that in your kernel config
file (check in LINT to be sure).

There's 2 kinds of dhcp clients available, one is wide-dhcp (I use that
one), the the other is called I think isc2-dhcp (or something similar).
Both are ports.
