So does isc-dhcp. There's really no other way to do it: you need the ability to grab packets that come from an unidentified machine, which doesn't have an IP address. You could write some other method of doing this -- and then put it into every single ethernet (et al) device driver -- or you could just use BPF, which really isn't all that large.
