There are inexpensive DNS providers, as well as granitecanyon.com which is
free, which can map your domain name to your static IP address.

But if you're talking about *reverse* DNS, that requires the cooperation of
your ISP.  But it's generally not critical that the reverse DNS entry match
your forward entry.  The ISP should have a name in their own domain that
also maps to your address, and that's sufficient.  There's nothing wrong
with having two A records point to the same IP address, and the PTR record
only needs to point to one of them.
