You can't flash it on the WAN port.

Probably. How about a configure option "enable DHCP server on
LAN IF by default", which defaults to on/off depending on the
package collection but still can be changed by the user, and,
if you use the "no additional packages" or one of the build-
everything selections, it defaults to a developer-friendly off.
Sure, commercial routers are doing the same thing (e.g. the
FritzBox), and some (mostly USA) devices default to DHCP-client
on the WAN I/F, but FreeWRT isn't a WRT distribution, it's a
WRT distribution kit. On the other hand, our package collections
imitate being a WRT distribution, that's why I just now got
the idea of having (yet another) configure option.
