There is a work around in the GNU/Hurd User's Guide[1].  You need to have a
 dual boot system for it to work. Basically you boot into GNU/Linux, get your 
dhcp ip address, write down ip info (ip address, netmask, gateway). Then you 
reboot into GNU/Hurd and set /hurd/pfinet manually with that info. You also 
need to copy /etc/resolv.conf over to GNU/Hurd.
