Maybe stge(4) itself?
What happens when dhcpcd is used instead of dhclient (like
ifconfig_stge0="dhcp" in rc.conf)?

I also compiled samba from pkgsrc last night on my SBLAN2 (with
re(4)). I had dhclient in use shortly after installation, and also
dhcpcd, but static IP address for a while now. No "options FULL" used
so far. No problems whatsoever.
Will try out a "persistent" dhclient again today with some hard network traffic.
If it's relevant (regarding the "other ports" question), I use dhcpcd
and dhclient in many i386/amd64 virtual machines with 6.0, quite some
traffic, and never had any issues. Would be interesting to hear about
stge(4) on other platforms like i386, but I think it is quite rare,
even on PCI cards. /sandpoint users might come across them most
frequently now.
