This could have been someone who had recently been on another network 
with different IP ranges.  Since 67 and 68 are used for DHCP/BOOTP, this 
might have been a windows machine requesting it's last known IP address 
from a DHCP server address which took the packets through your 
firewall.  Without more knowledge of the firewall, your routing, and the 
actual firewall logs I'm afraid I can't be much more specific.
