Most DHCP servers ping an address before offering it ('Address Conflict Detection'). Also, a client that already has a DHCP-supplied address when it reboots or renews it is supposed to ask the server for that specific IP address.
Still, it's not an ideal world... So yes, it could happen, especially with cheap SOHO stuff.
