It's not possible to do this with the DHCP client from base at present.

That's not always possible. Sometimes you need to use (and respond to ARP queries for) an address in the same subnet. Fortunately in my case I don't have the need to do this very often so I can cope with 'pkill -9 dhclient' to force it to exit without removing the existing lease. That's not always acceptable though - if there's no other way around it, using a 3rd-party DHCP client is currently the only way.
