dhcpcd-dbus is a DBus [1] communication layer for dhcpcd.
dhcpcd-gtk is a GTK+ systray icon for dhcpcd-5 (via dhcpcd-dbus).
It's main use is to monitor the state of dhcpcd and provide a GUI for 
basic interface setup. It also hook's into wpa_supplicant (again, via 
DBus) to allow Access Point selection with the ability to enter a 
passphrase.

dhcpcd-gtk turned into dhcpcd-ui as I intend [2] to write QT and EFL 
versions as well. Although this may revert back into dhcpcd-gtk 
depending on how things turn out.

The above two have project pages
