No need to add hacks for /etc/resolv.conf.append files. This is what I have on my OpenBSD machine for dhclient.conf: supersede domain-name "groot.local"; supersede domain-name-servers 192.168.1.2; which replaces dhcp variables with locales from my config. Replacing these with prepend or append will add them to the dhcp-provided options.
