I'm not entirely sure what you're asking but if you mean using DHCP to
set a static IP address, it can be done - you stick something like the
following in your /etc/dhcpd.conf file:

host erdos {
  hardware ethernet 00:80:AD:76:35:7D;
  fixed-address erdos.home;
}

The hex digits are the MAC address of the machine in question which can
be obtained by running "ifconfig" on the machine itself or "arp" on another
machine on the same network segment.
