Frankly, this makes sense to me.  Here's what I'm thinking at the
moment:

- baselayout-1.11.x already emits an error message when there is no
  DHCP client available and DHCP configuration is requested.  For
  example:

    * For DHCP (dhcpcd) support, emerge net-misc/dhcpcd

- Adding explicit instructions to the install guide to choose a DHCP
  client is less messy than adding a (local!) USE flag and documenting
  it in the install guide.
