(Using DHCP from /etc/rc.conf leaves a lock on devd.pid. SYNCDHCP does
not.)

Yes, it seems to be that problem. Tested on my other machine, which hasn't
changed since the problem was discovered:
root@kg-v7# service devd status
devd is not running.
root@kg-v7# ll /var/run/devd.pid
-rw------- 1 root wheel 3 Jan 12 20:40 /var/run/devd.pid
root@kg-v7# lsof /var/run/devd.pid
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
dhclient 1075 root 5w VREG 0,70 3 918547 /var/run/devd.pid
dhclient 1091 _dhcp 5w VREG 0,70 3 918547 /var/run/devd.pid
root@kg-v7#
So, if this was worked on back in 2009, why isn't fixed yet?
I switched to using SYNCDHCP which avoids the problem, didn't enter a
PR, and quickly forgot about it. It would be nice to have it fixed.
