No, actually I have

dhclient=YES
(vi's a drag in caps mode, huh?)

I believe it's the only way I could have generated the DHCP diagnostic
messages at the end of my message.

I really have read the FAQ's...I hope I didn't miss something
that silly. (I will of course accept my shame if I did...)

Do you have :

#DHCP
dhclient=3DYES

in /etc/rc.conf? Look in /etc/defaults/rc.conf for more help.
