man dhclient.conf and you'll find out about supersede and prepend
options. 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.
