  It's quite easy to set up a dhcp server.  Just create an
/etc/dhcpd.conf like the following one.  Then change 'dhcpd=NO' to
'dhcpd=YES' in your /etc/rc.conf and reboot, that's it.  Here is an
example dhcpd.conf for 192.168.x.x adresses:

# option definitions common to all supported networks...
option domain-name "mydomain.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0;

default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 2592000;

#
# give all hosts dynamic addresses
#
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
  range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.254;
  option broadcast-address 192.168.255.255;
  option routers 192.168.0.1;
}

#
# set the printer to a fixed address
#
host printer01 {
  hardware ethernet 08:00:09:64:2f:e1;
  fixed-address 192.168.2.1;
  option routers 192.168.0.2;
}


  Hope this helps.

  Cheers
