just for your info:
i had this experience of waiting for rather long time for dhclient on 
5.x. since it was replaced by openbsd's one in 6.0, it just configures 
my interface instantly. also it solved my problem with sk(4) not being 
ready on boot (which i had to workaround using /etc/start_if.sk0)
