I haven't got either loaded, but all bootpd's I've seen are BOOTP servers.
Permit me to guess: bootpc is a BOOTP client.  Maybe it's purpose is as a
diagnostic for bootpd; maybe it's purpose is to query a BOOTP server and
update your local configuration accordingly.  Either way, if you need either
it would be bootpd that provides network configuration for an X terminal.

Maybe your x-term can be statically configured with IP addresses et al...
