"-HUP" is an option to kill(1).  Many daemons can
be told to re-read their configuration file like this:

kill -HUP `pgrep daemonname`

    where "daemonname" is something like dhcpd, named, inetd,
httpd, etc.  I've never had much trouble with dhcpd, so I
may be wrong about using "kill -HUP" on it; I am fairly
certain you don't wanna flag "-HUP" in /etc/rc.conf,
though.  Take it away and the "usage" message will disappear.

Me neither, unless Chuck was also mistaken and you can't put the
"option routers" line up there, I don't think I see anything either.
Of course, my monitor's a little dusty and I think I need a stronger
eyeglass prescription :-)

If at first you don't succeed, edit, and try again?  :-)
