  Normally I recommend against modifying startup scripts, but you should
  be able to change the conditionals in /etc/rc2.d/S69inet to allow
  DHCP and ip forwarding.

  You may have to get cute and do something like add a script to rc3 to
  set a route, or just try setting a route to the interface with a
  metric of zero.
