To a first approximation, /bin and /sbin are static, and most
other stuff is dynamic.

Sure, "ldd filename" and/or "file filename":
flarn:~$ ldd /bin/ls
ldd: /bin/ls: not a dynamic executable
flarn:~$ ldd /usr/bin/grep
/usr/bin/grep:
-lgnuregex.2 => /usr/lib/libgnuregex.so.2.0 (0x2002a000)
-lc.3 => /usr/lib/libc.so.3.1 (0x20031000)
flarn:~$ file /bin/ls
/bin/ls: FreeBSD/i386 compact demand paged executable
flarn:~$ file /usr/bin/grep
/usr/bin/grep: FreeBSD/i386 compact demand paged dynamically linked executable
