Nagios isn't the best/right/ideal tool for this really, you would want 
log based alerting which is entirely different and more real time as well.

You can try this dhcp leases plugin that I wrote which will display all 
current leases and macs in the nagios interface if you want:

You could make Nagios do what you asked via a nagios check of the 
logfile for a string indicating a lease grant or something similar but I 
don't consider this to be a very good solution.
