Update: A little searching found this in 'man dhclient.conf'.

       The supersede statement

        supersede [ option declaration ] ;

       If for some option the client should always use a
       locally-configured value or values rather than whatever is
       supplied by the server, these values can be defined in the
       supersede statement.

Therefore whether using resolvconf's configuration to override works
or not a pure dhclient solution would be to configure the dhclient
configuration file /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf to supersede the
nameservers from the dhcp server.  I think something like this:

  supersede domain-name-servers "208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220";
