Nope.  It just means that you can only get one of the two things you asked for.

Of dynamic DNS?  Yes: www.dyndns.org.

No, I meant being able to run Apache on port 80.  You said you didn't want to 
see IP or port number; the former can be solved by dynamic DNS, the latter can't 
be solved if your ISP blocks port 80.
