Joe there's a typo, whether just in your messages or in your rc.conf:

/usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp41-server/pkg-message:
****  This port installs dhcp daemon, but doesn't invoke dhcpd by default. If
      you want to invoke dhcpd at startup, put these lines into /etc/rc.conf.

            dhcpd_enable="YES"                          # dhcpd enabled?
            dhcpd_flags="-q"                            # command option(s)
            dhcpd_conf="%%PREFIX%%/etc/dhcpd.conf"      # configuration file
            dhcpd_ifaces=""                             # ethernet interface(s)
            dhcpd_withumask="022"                       # file creation mask
[..]

As Alnis already pointed out, it's dhcpd_ifaces, plural.
