I recently installed this:

http://gatorhole.com/index.php?product=dhcp&lang=gb

It's called dhcptool, and should be able to send all kinds of  
DISCOVERS and REQUESTS etc, but I haven't had a chance to test it  
yet. I got the link from this thread: "Command line tool for  
emulating DHCP-client", in August 2007.
It installs fine on Mac OS X, but if I remember correctly, I had to  
install libnet first.
