class "laptop" {
   match if substring (option dhcp-client-identifier, 1, 7) = "samwise";
   fixed-address x.y.z.35;
}

Is one way to handle it.

There is also 

match pick-first-value (option dhcp-client-identifier, hardware)

and the like.  If you're not using dhcpd v.3 or above, I recommend
upgrading.  The docs alone make it worth it.
