No you don't. WHat you need is PPP to run on the line and assign an IP 
address to you. DHCP is a completly unrelated cprotocol that also assign 
addreses but on Ethernet (and other) lines.

Basically, if you know (or read) how to set up your machine to answer 
the modem and run mgetty on the serial line, all you need is to 
configure the machine to answer the modem and run pppd on the serial 
line - with the apropriate flags and options. As has been mentioned 
there are a lot of stuff about this on the net and google is your friend.
