You can't, in the normal rcorder way, because dhcpcd doesn't get run
by it's own rc.d script  (unlike dhclient, whose rc.d script has
BEFORE: wpa_supplicant to deal with exactly this case).  I think
that's wrong, but it's that way to support the  ifconfig_foo="dhcp"
configuration style you're using.

A perfectly viable alternative would be to put "nowait" in
dhcpcd.conf, so it doesn't matter what order things start in.

For some other circumstances, what might then be handy is a later rc.d
script, something like have_dhcp_lease, that could wait later for the
lease to be granted in case there are other services that shouldn't
start without one.
