/etc/dhclient.conf contains:
omapi port 7911;
Then, as root:
# dhclient -n -w
And in another terminal:
% netstat -an | grep -w 7911
tcp4 0 0 *.7911 *.* LISTEN
% omshell

At this point, go back to the other window and notice that dhclient hs
terminated.
I haven't played much further than this yet, though. The only other

doesn't seem to be supported. Well, I couldn't see how to do it...
