Delegation records point to hostnames, not IP addresses.  You could
delegate to a hostname administered by a dynamic DNS service.  As long as
the hostname isn't in the domain being delegated, the parent domain doesn't
need glue records.

Unfortunately, to simplify database administration, I think most registrars
require you to supply the IP address of each nameserver along with the
hostname.
