Indeed I had

  ifconfig_vtnet0="DHCP"

in rc.conf because the public IPv4 is assigned by the router.
However, changing it to SYNCDHCP helped only partly. Now,
tincd starts but both postfix and sshd still fail.

Does SYNCDHCP also apply to IPv6?

I did some research in /etc/rc.d and found out that there is
also

  synchronous_dhclient="YES"

Am I right assuming that it's the same as SYNCDHCP but for
*every* interface?
