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.
