Yes there is.  You need to create a file called
/etc/dhclient-enter-hooks and make it executable.  In this file (script)
you set the variables that are part of dhclient-script.  So for your
case you would enter into the dhclient-enter-hooks file:

new_domain_name_servers=127.0.0.1

When dhclient-script is run it will pick up the values in
dhclient-enter-hooks.

For more information, see the manual pages for dhclient and
dhclient-script.
