I think dhclient-script can do this.  From the manpage:

ARPCHECK
       The DHCP client wants to know if a response to  the  ARP  request  send
       using  ARPSEND  has been received.   If one has, the script should exit
       with a nonzero status, indicating that the offered address has  already
       been requested and should be declined.   $new_ip_address and $interface
       are set as with ARPSEND.

himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
