Typically, that sort of message indicates that the firewall rules are preventing traffic from going out, or packets are getting stuck in a queue until it fills up, or maybe even a bug somewhere in the particular combination of kernel firewall options enabled, high optimization or CPUTYPE settings, and your particular hardware, depending on how lucky you are. :-)

Does the problem go away if you use a trivial "permit all" PF ruleset?
Does the problem go away if you use a trivial IPFW "permit all" instead of PF?
Does the problem go away if you use a stock 5.4 release kernel?

The 3Com 3c905B-TX is an OK NIC, apparently the later C revision or the 918/920's are pretty decent, but anyway--

System was ok with 5.3-RELEASE & custom kernel with ipfw. PF logs all block rules and nothing gets to pflog on those dhclient errors. I try those tips you gave, thanks. Stuck in a queue sounds most likely to be the case.
