There's no single command to display all the things you want to know.

ifconfig(8) will show the hardware address of your local network
interfaces (i.e. for Ethernet, it will show your MAC addresses).
It will also show all the IP addresses bounded to each interface.

netstat(1) will show information about your network, including the
local gateway/router.

DHCP, I dunno what tools are available to talk to OS X to find out
if it's speaking DHCP or not.
