The latest stable net-misc/dhcp (3.0.3-r9 at the time of posting this) uses /etc/conf.d/dhcp instead of /etc/conf.d/dhcpd as earlier versions. Problem: The settings are not merged, and the dhcp server will start with defaults instead of the previous settings.

So, read the messages you get and do it? <snip> if [[ -e "${ROOT}"/etc/init.d/dhcp ]] ; then ewarn ewarn "WARNING: The dhcp init script has been renamed to dhcpd" ewarn "/etc/init.d/dhcp and /etc/conf.d/dhcp need to be removed and" ewarn "and dhcp should be removed from the default runlevel" ewarn fi einfo "You can edit /etc/conf.d/dhcpd to customize dhcp settings." einfo einfo "If you would like to run dhcpd in a chroot, simply configure the" einfo "DHCPD_CHROOT directory in /etc/conf.d/dhcpd and then run:" einfo " emerge --config =${PF}" </snip>
That doesn't MIGRATE the existing settings, like most apps do when you upgrade them.
It's not intended to migrate anything, it tells you exactly what to do when relevant.
