I don't know of an existing solution, however, you can probably throw a
bash script to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/whatever.sh, and in it take the DHCP
data stored in the variables:
$interface $new_ip_address $new_subnet_mask $new_routers
$new_dhcp_lease_time $new_domain_name_servers

and use them in nmcli commands to alter the existing connection to a static
one with those settings, e.g. something along the lines of:

nmcli con mod "$connection" ipv4.addresses
$new_ip_address/$new_subnet_mask(may need to convert to CIDR?) gw4
$new_routers
nmcli con mod "$connection" ipv4.method manual
nmcli dev disconnect "$connection"
nmcli -w 10 dev connect "$connection"

HTH,
