I'm not sure if you meant environment variables or command line
arguments for the daemon.  Here is an example of how to provide a
command line arg to the udhcpc daemon.  You just put a '--' in front.

# Start a DHCP client daemon on each of the physical interfaces
/bin/start-stop-daemon -b -S --exec /bin/udhcpc \
-- --interface=eth0 \
