You wanted to pass options to your dhcp client. The page mentioned
shows two ways of doing that:
1) By setting the variable dhcp_eth0  to a space-delimited string of
options, like
dhcp_eth0="release nodns nontp nonis"
These generic options work for any of the dhclient, dhcpcd, pump and
udhcpc clients.

2) By setting ${CLIENTNAME}_eth0 to a space-delimited string of
options, you can pass any option to your specific client
If you want to pass the -nw option to the dhclient client for the eth0
interface, you would write
dhclient_eth0="-nw"

All this configuration goes in /etc/conf.d/net (at least for
baselayout 1.12.12; I don't know about baslayout 2.0.0)
