Is this bootpd a Netinfo-"enhanced" one? If so, then you've got these
options:
1. Try to run the two servers at the same time (this may require hacking
dhcpd to bind the UDP server socket with SO_REUSEADDR and starting it
after bootpd) while configuring dhcpd to ignore BOOTP requests for
your Macs.
2. Run dhcpd on a host other than your NetInfo/BOOTP servers; that host
should not run bootpd.
3. Build a config file for dhcpd using output from "nidump bootptab ..."
and don't bother running bootpd.

Look at the source. Apple has open sourced many components of OSX,
including the bootp stuff and even NetInfo!
