pkg has correctly upgraded itself, but now it can't find the package you
are trying to install.

The reason is because the package no longer exists, as a newer package has
replaced it.

Try:
$ pkg search isc-dhcp

Alternatively you can search on FreshPorts here:
http://www.freshports.org/search.php?query=isc-dhcp&search=go&num=10&stype=name&method=match&deleted=excludedeleted&start=1&casesensitivity=caseinsensitive

What you will want is:
# pkg install isc-dhcp43-server

Good luck!

Ben
