Thanks to the tips from Alan and Ole I have managed to build an
rpm of dhcp-3.1-esv

http://www.p.slegg.scubadivers.co.uk/download/dhcp-3-1.ESV.spec

http://www.p.slegg.scubadivers.co.uk/download/dhclient-3.1.ESV-1.m68kmint.rpm

Version 4 includes ipv6 so would make things more complicated.
The above version compiled without any trouble and I just took a few
of the patches from the current version and applied them.

I've tried the dhclient and it seems to work ok.
