I think this might be the culprit in the isc-dhcp.rb formulae but am not sure.

# rename all the installed sample etc/* files so they don't clobber
    # any existing config files at symlink time.
    Dir.open("#{prefix}/etc") do |dir|
      dir.each do |f|
        file = "#{dir.path}/#{f}"
        File.rename(file, "#{file}.sample") if File.file?(file)
      end
    end

I commented out the above section of isc-dhcp.rb and it installed sucessfully.

Yikes!

Have you installed this software with Homebrew before?

No, bootpd on 10.5 and greater can satisfy PXE requirements (custom DHCP options) but I had an old PPC iMac (10.4.11) that can easily handle dhcp, tftp and http so I thought I would experiment. Actually works pretty slick!

I may try a test with just that offending code to see if I can reproduce that crazy loop on 10.4.11 /Ruby 1.8.2. (stock Apple)

There are lots of posts around stating that the standard brew install works on current platforms - so probably not something anyone will want to change the formula for.
