Those port numbers are quite normal, see the entries from /etc/services. 
Don't get confused by source and destination ports...

$ grep bootp /etc/services
bootps          67/udp                          # BOOTP/DHCP server
bootpc          68/udp                          # BOOTP/DHCP client

There must be something else wrong. What messages are in the dhcp server 
logs?
