I'm not sure I understand your question.  The DHCP server must have a fixed 
IP address, not dynamically assigned.  It is possible for a DHCP client to 
come up and obtain the IP address of a DHCP server without knowing it, using 
either broadcast or multicast techniques, and this is fairly common (although 
this capability is often disabled as a security risk).  You could probably 
rig this facility to support a DHCP server with a varying IP address, but a 
lot of things would break, including name service and even DHCP across 
routers.
