in isc's dhclient.conf, you can put, for example

interface "wi0" {
    send dhcp-client-identifier "foo.bar.baz";
    media "nwid 'my-home'  nwkey myWEPkeysilly";   # home
    media "nwid 'tmobile' -nwkey";                 # staryuchhs
    media "nwid 'nanog42' -nwkey";                 # nanog
    media "nwid ''        -nwkey";                 # open
    }

so it cycles through them trying each in turn.

otoh, if you meant acquiring the wep key via dhcp, how did you
plan to exchange the keys needed to encrypt the key before sending
it over the air?  can you say "deep yogurt?"
