That wouldn’t work. For instance for Arachne the WATTCP.CFG could look like 
this:

my_ip = 0.0.0.0
netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 0.0.0.0
#
sockdelay=40
hostname=arachne
mss=512

and the nameservers would be configured in ARACHNE.CFG. 

Your workaround would configure nameservers in WATTCP.CFG too. But this could 
mess things up. It shouldn’t configure a nameserver if there is none configured 
in WATTCP.CFG.

Unfortunately M2WAT.COM by cordata also does not get this right.

David Dunfields DHCP program from 
http://classiccmp.org/dunfield/dos/index.htm

does it correctly. There is even an option /F where you can choose to "fill-in 
config items not supplied in original file“.

The program is a bit hard to figure out, because the description in DCHP.TXT is 
not correct. 

Instead of 
DHCP P=60 /W='C:\FDOS\WATTCP.CFG'  /M='C:\FDOS\MTCP.CFG‘
you would need to write:
DHCP P=60 /W C:\FDOS\WATTCP.CFG
DHCP P=60 /M C:\FDOS\MTCP.CFG

(You can not write the /M option and the /W option in the same line.)

It does get the environment variable MTCPCFG from AUTOEXEC.BAT, but it doesn’t 
get the environment variable WATTCPCFG.

So
DHCP /M
would work, while
DHCP /W
wouldn’t.

But anyway you can work around this and the program works fine. Unfortunately 
there is no source file on the website and no license, so it couldn’t be 
bundled with FreeDOS.

cheers
