"suffix" might be what you want:

   suffix (data-expr, length)

          The suffix operator evaluates data-expr and returns the last  length
          bytes  of the result of that evaluation. Length is a numeric expres-
          sion.  If data-expr or length evaluate to null, then the result  is
          also  null.  If suffix evaluates to a number greater than the length
          of the evaluated data, then the evaluated data is returned.

{ match if suffix (option dhcp-client-identifier, 8) =”\0abc.com” ;}
