The dchp still works with net-tools installed:

eth0="eth0 up"
br0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0 br0)

However using netcfg it can be accomplish, it has examples:

/etc/network.d/examples/bridge

I have two profiles, one for dhcp (work) and one for static (home):

% cat /etc/network.d/wired-dhcp
#
DHCLIENT=yes
CONNECTION='bridge'
DESCRIPTION='A basic dhcp ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='br0'
BRIDGE_INTERFACES="eth0"
IP='dhcp'
CARRIER_TIMEOUT=3

% cat /etc/network.d/wired-static
#
CONNECTION='bridge'
DESCRIPTION='A basic static ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='br0'
BRIDGE_INTERFACES="eth0"
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.1.159'
GATEWAY='192.168.1.1'
DNS=('200.91.75.5' '200.91.75.6' '192.168.1.1')
CARRIER_TIMEOUT=3

So I use net-profiles daemon instead of network one, :-)

Notice for some reason dhcpd is not a good option for bridging under
netcfg, since somehow the dhcp client keeps alive after netcfg -a, so
I preferred using dhclient, which works well...

So perhaps you might consider using netcfg for bridging, :-)
