No, it's Gentoo's way of getting an IP via dhcp.
Gentoo's default /etc/init.d/net.<device> scripts offer DHCP support.
One DHCP capable client, and support for it, has to be in the system
profile, then, imho. I thought this was dhcpcd. If the default
system scripts support a feature, all necessary software for that
feature should be in a system profile. This is basically the whole
idea of RDEPEND in general, no? ;-)
Yes, one of the things Gentoo is "all about" is the whole "your way"
factor ... It's pretty well known what the net.<device> scripts
support though, and I am wondering if these were also editted to work
with a new dhcp client when dhcpcd was removed.
I am fond of dhclient ... but that DNS and DHCP client mentioned
sounding intriguing....

P.S. I would love to see a move dynamic network configuration
interface/scripts in Gentoo ... especially in regards to mobile
computers/"profile" switching; granted these tools exist in portage,
but they don't exactly integrate well "out of the box". Actually,
that's kind of my point, I guess: removing dhcpcd sort of ruins the
"out of the box"-ness of a new Gentoo install. Imagine how annoying
it would be if you booted the install disc, got a dhcp address, and
then _didn't_ have dhcpcd when you started your new system for the
first time.
