Actually, according the the dhcrelay man page for ISC dhcpd 2.0(beta), the
relay listens on UDP port 67 for DHCP broadcast requests.  The ISC dhcrelay
agent can also be told to bind to particular interfaces, rather than all of
them.  This, plus whatever ipfwadm/ipfilter equivalent you have, ought to be
enough to secure dhcrelay as well as any other service can be secured.
