Have You had a look at
lwIP? It looks portable (have only had a little look at the code long time ago), and includes an DHCP client...
and it would even give MorphOS IPv6
Yes, of course i looked it. It's worse solution than stack based on AmiTCP since lwIP is a thing-in-itself. It's hard to upgrade, it has no AmigaOS API, it has no SANA-II support, etc. It would require much more work.
As to IPv6, much better approach would be to re-merge recent FreeBSD code into ezTCP. This would give not only IPv6, but also PPP, PPPoE, ATM, BPF, PCap, etc.
In fact DHCP problem is not so large, i already reconsidered it back. ISC DHCP is good and up-to-date, it just requires more changes in the code. In the worst case re-merging newer versions out-of-the-box will be impossible due to large amount of changes, but that's all.
