If so, it's a new problem, and it's definitely a problem.

Just came home to find virtually all my machines had fallen off the
network with the same problem.  Restarting dhcpd seems to have it run
just long enough to answer one query, then it dies quietly.

For the moment, might want to try backing your usr.sbin/dhcpd directory
in the source tree back a few days (or even to OPENBSD_4_3), and recompile
until the problem is fixed.

(I was wondering why you spotted the problem days ago, when I just spotted
it this evening.  I forgot it took my 100MHz sparc a while to build. :)
