So my question is this, why DHCP? If you are trying to assign an IP at boot time of a zone, you could zonecfg the IP before you boot the zone. I take it that you have a couple zones that might change IP occasionally (or frequently). If the zone changes IP as part of a zone reboot, then zonecfg is the easy solution. Zone down, zonecfg remove net, zonecfg add net (set address and physical), zone boot.
If you are really needing DHCP for some reason, I'll defer to others with more experience in those realms. bill.
