We often have DHCP on *nix servers, and I had used *nix TFTP servers
for troubleshooting cisco phones, but not in a working Cisco
environment.

However (albeit this is a bit offtopic) I have used *nix servers for
complete proivisioning (DHCP/DNS/TFTP/NTP/firmware through HTTP/etc.)
for SIP based networks (Linksys phones and others).

For a small (or lab) environments dnsmasq (
http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html ) is a very handy
all-in-one solution.
