ISC DHCP builds directly from the standard source available from the
ISC download site Jim quoted above.

If you want a precompiled package then Blastwave have one here:

  http://www.blastwave.org/packages.php/dhcp

Sunfreeware.com does not seem to have this package.

I have used various versions of ISC DHCP for 7 or 8 years on Solaris
2.6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. It all "just works". This is a great credit to the
software's maintainers!

Also Sun also ships their own dhcp server in the SUNWdhcsr and
SUNWdhcsu packages.
