Does it work for a pre-10.3 client to do:

ssh -o "HostKeyAlias=*" -o StrictHostKeyChecking=yes 1.2.3.4

when the certificate contains "*" as the principal?

If so, perhaps you could put those options in ~/.ssh/config under a host 
pattern which matches the IP address range(s) that your DHCP devices use.
