One you've changed resolv.conf, it should stay that way permanently
across boots, unless you change it again.
      
dhclient will overwrite /etc/resolv.conf on boot
    
How can I keep dhclient from doing this?
  

Configure it not to: according to "man dhclient.conf", a "prepend 
domain-name-servers <mumble>" should do it.

Or better yet, fix your router so that it either provides DNS services
or stops telling your FreeBSD machine that it does. 
 

Unfortunately I can't get my DSL modem to turn off it's DNS 
'feature'.  I tried the advanced setup and it was no luck.  I'm trying 
your dhclient.conf method, however it isn't working.  I read the 
manpage, and I can't figure out why.  This is what I have in 
dhclient.conf:

interface "vr0" {
       prepend domain-name-servers 205.171.2.65;
       prepend domain-name-servers 205.171.3.65;
}
Any clue why this might not work?
Thanks for the help!

Update:  I was able to get this to work by using one-line statements 
such as this:
prepend domain-name-servers 205.171.2.65;

instead of the 'procedural' way.
Thanks anyway everyone for the help on this
