What about setting up Webmin w/ SSL <http://www.webmin.com/> and setting 
up a Webmin account with access only to the DHCP configurator module? 
Then you could either do it yourself remotely (if internet access 
allows) or show someone how to do it themselves (still a little risky, 
but not nearly as bad as giving them root).  You can also limit in 
Webmin the range of valid source addresses if you are worried about 
opening up security holes.

Very nice.  :-)
