Your DHCP server should supply the IP address (not a domain name) for the
name server you are supposed to use. You shouldn't have to create
/etc/resolv.conf manually.
If the name server that you are supposed to use is 1.2.3.4, then your
resolv.conf should have a line that looks like:
nameserver 1.2.3.4
Typically, you will also have a line that lists domains to search in order
to resolve host names that aren't fully qualified. It would look similar to:
search firstdomain.com seconddomain.com
But again, that line isn't required.

To run the client, all you need is a line in your rc.conf that would look
similar to:
ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"
where fxp0 would be replaced with whatever the device name is for your
ethernet interface.
