Your ports tree is out of date and references a version of ISC dhcpd
no longer available from their FTP sites -- you should use cvsup(1) to
pull down the latest:

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

Where you will find that the isc-dhcp3 port has mutated into several
different variants and parts.  The one you want is isc-dhcp3-server,
which gets you ISC dhcpd-3.0.1.r12

	Cheers,
