Use dselect to grab one of the DHCP clients: dhclient and dhcpcd have both worked for me (while pump hasn't). If you have dhclient, you'll get a /etc/dhclient.conf file you can edit, if needed (usually not). If you have dhcpcd, there's a config file in /etc/dhcpc, where you can do your configuration, if needed (usually not). Then, in /etc/network/interfaces, just adjust the entry for whatever interface you need; eg: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp Andrew.
