Mine do. What model JetDirect do you have? I have two J2552B cards, and both will talk dhcp. These cards were retired years ago, and I would be surprised if the newer cards don't also support dhcp.
You might need to upgrade the JetDirect firmware if it is a really ancient one, or (probably just as easy) set a permanent IP by telnetting in to the card & setting it.

see the section on setting the IP address for the options. DHCP is mentioned.
