I think the question was about the client side of DHCP.
chronyd doesn't know anything about DHCP, but it can be configured at
run time with NTP servers provided by DHCP using chronyc. In some
distributions (e.g. Fedora, Debian/Ubuntu, OpenSUSE) there is a
chrony-helper script and a NetworkManager or dhclient dispatcher
script, which runs the helper script when DHCP provided the client
with some NTP servers.
