The data type for option domain-name is simply: text
I would therefore hope that
option domain-name "openclustergroup.org ocg.org"
in /etc/dhcpd.conf would result in
search openclustergroup.org ocg.org
in /etc/resolv.conf, as long as the DHCP client just plugs in the option
value without trying to parse it.

My main DHCP reference, The DHCP Handbook, by Droms and Lemon, says this
about the domain-name option:
The domain name option specifies only a single domain for name
resolution. At the time of this writing [7+ years ago --ted], the
DHC working group was developing a new option that specifies a list
of domain names used in name resolution.
A little digging turned up RFC 3397, which specifies such an option,
as number 119, domain search.
The current version of ISC DHCP is 3.0.4, released May 5 of this year.
(Fedora Core 5 uses 3.0.3.) I downloaded it, located the source file
containing the option definitions, and found that the name of option
119 there is "unknown-119".
I suggest that you try the kludge I suggested first. It might work. It
might not break on the next ISC DHCP release.
