Citing the kernel config help:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
menuconfig NETDEVICES
    default y if UML
    depends on NET
    bool "Network device support"
    ---help---
      You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
      any other computer at all.

      You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
      you want to use under Linux. [...]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you want to run udhcpd, I suspect that you actually intend to
connect your Linux box to any other computer. So I also would say that
you need NETDEVICES turned on.

If I misunderstood you and you do not want to connect your Linux box to
any other computer, then why do you want to run udhcpd?
