It Depends[tm]. All you really need is one TCP listen socket - if you can't receive incoming TCP connections, you can only participate as a transient node and retrieve content, but you're not really useful to the network as it is. Using a DynDNS host name for the ipAddress setting is pretty common on Freenet, so that shouldn't be a problem.
