The same messages started appearing in my logs after upgrading to 4.6-PRE:

May 31 10:19:20 99-992-67-235 dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on fxp0 to 99.993.2.34 port 67
May 31 10:19:20 99-992-67-235 dhclient: DHCPACK from 99.993.2.34
May 31 10:19:20 99-992-67-235 dhclient: New Network Number: 99.992.64.0
May 31 10:19:20 99-992-67-235 dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 255.255.255.255
May 31 10:19:20 99-992-67-235 dhclient: bound to 99.992.67.235 -- renewal in 155695 seconds.

which I interpret as bogus responses from the DHCP server (the reponses for
hostname and netmask are definitely bogus, although these may be just a crude
attempt by the ISP to prevent client systems from running services.)  They
appear every few days.
