Actually, dhclient and dhcpd have nothing to do with each other. =)

dhclient is a DHCP client, for getting an address on your machine; other 
clients typical included in distributions are dhcpcd and pump; they all 
do basically the same thing.

dhcpd is a DHCP server, this is only useful serving out addresses to 
other machines on your network, i.e. if you are using a linux box as a 
router.
