Adding an extra DHCP option is not too hard, but it needs to be included on the *client* side so you'll have to update all of your clients to use such a patch. You can send environment variables to the client, and perhaps you can use those to configure the TFTP server (e.g. using a powershell script to set a specific registry value?).
