Dear Reid,
	I am not sure if this is what you are asking, but this part of the man pages 
may be what you are looking for.


       option user-class string;

          This  option  is  used by some DHCP clients as a way for users to 
specify identifying information to the client.   This can be used in a 
similar way to the
          vendor-class-identifier option, but the value of the option is 
specified by the user, not the vendor.   Most recent DHCP clients have a  way  
in  the  user
          interface to specify the value for this identifier, usually as a 
text string.
