I have successfully emerged dhcpd.  I have not attempted to put dhcpd in my startup scripts.

First, after plugging in the cable box and typing adsl-stop to disconnect my adsl connection, running ifconfig yields the following:

          RX bytes:700 (700.0 b)  TX bytes:700 (700.0 b)

I have a broken eth0 connection on the motherboard which is disabled, so this info is correct.

I then edit /etc/conf.d/net as follows:
#iface_eth1="up"     ---   added # to comment out the config required by rp-pppoe
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )     --- added the dhcp configuration required by the cable modem,

running the command /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start yields the following:

* Starting eth1
*   Bringing up eth1
*     dhcp
*       Running dhcpcd ...                                               [ ok ]
*       eth1 received address 24.88.247.205

ifconfig now reports
