Are there any industry standards (or ones being developed) in regard to
creating a branch office VPN with a device that gets a dynamic IP?

It seems that each manufacturer has it's own proprietary solution
limiting any implmentation to their brand only. WatchGuard uses a
proprietary protocol they call DVCP. NetScreen uses peer ID's.
Checkpoint appliances have a version of their client that is invoked via
a web browser, etc.
