Sshd does not care about the IP of the machine it's running on.  All it
does is listen on a port.

Ssh stores the hostname/IP in ~/.ssh/known_hosts.  If the IP changes, ssh
may prompt you to accept the host keys again (although this mostly happens
if using raw IPs to connect).

In short, DHCP is not a problem.
