I've used dhcpcd for some time and have PORT_PATH_WHITELIST=/sbin/dhcpcd:UDP:68 set in /etc/rkhunter.conf so rkhunter doesn't report it as a hidden port, or so it has been until recently. I now have rkhunter report hidden port 68 without any particular binary path attached to it.
Code:
# rkhunter --check --report-warnings-only
Warning: Hidden ports found:
         Port number: UDP:68

I'm not sure what to make of it. How can I find what's using this port, and why isn't rkhunter reporting the binary using it like it did before PORT_PATH_WHITELIST was set?

You might have netstat installed. This app can display processes using certain ports. I usually use netstat -tulpn for such occasions. ( -tulipan - a memory mind game )
