on a 3.9 newly installed box I started DHCPD. The clients do obtain an IP
address but cannot go 'out' to the Internet.

Which is entirely expected behaviour as dhcpd does not provide routing
services or NAT features. It provides addresses and configuration
information to clients. It does not automagically provide other
services.

To access other networks, your clients need routing. For routing
and/or NAT features, you need to properly setup routing and (likely)
enable pf. Hint: you're looking for the proper setting for
net.inet.ip.forwarding and setting up NAT.

See the PF FAQ [1] for more information, specifically the section on NAT [2].
