Could the WIDE client be used instead? Unlike the ISC client, it will
configure downstream interfaces from PD prefixes without needing an

The ISC client isn’t the only choice. I chose to work with the ISC
client in my work because the current FreeBSD dhclient shares a common
ancestry with the current ISC dhclient and also because the ISC
dhclient implements pseudo interfaces, which is a feature that I need
for my application.
Is the WIDE client still maintained? When I looked, the most recent
release I found was from 2008. Perhaps you have a link to a more
recent version of the WIDE client.
Thanks.

The dhcpcd seems like another good choice.
http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd/index
It is licensed under the 2 clause BSD license,
supports BSD, is being actively developed,
is in ports: net/dhcpcd
Seems to be the only one to support RFC 7217
(Opaque Interface Identifiers with SLAAC = Stable Private Addresses)
which currently lacks support on FreeBSD as far as I can tell
(but does work on newer linux).
Some of the notable features:
IPv6 Router Soliciation including optional address and route management
IPv6 Router Advertisement Options for DNS Configuration
IPv6 Stable Private Addresses
Seamless quad stack of DHCPv4, IPv4LL, IPv6RS, DHCPv6
Small runtime, 200k on amd64 NetBSD
...
