something like:

interface "fxp0" {
	media "media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex";
}

in /etc/dhclient.conf will make dhclient DTRT when ifconfig ing the
interface.  Of course, that means that you're forcing the 
interface to be 100meg (which won't work when you plug your
laptop in $CLIENT's 10 meg hub)
