Shouldn't be too hard, especially if BIND is running on the same machine
(simplifies security issues).  I played with BIND DDNS capabilities years ago,
worked really well.

My IPs are all static these days. :)

Thought I was going to need DDNS for IPv6.  While my prefix is static, it's a
/56 and my router was changing which block of /64 it was assigning to the LAN,
which was a pain.  Turned out it was dependent on how the router obtained its
IPv6 address.  Disabling DHCPv6 fixed the issue, and my /64 LAN prefix has
remained stable since. :)
