iptables is _the_ firewall for modern Linux (e.g. 2.4 and later). There
isn't anything else that I am aware of.

If iptables isn't included in the Nokia kernel you can build your own
with IPtables. Custom kernels are documented on the Maemo wiki.

If I were you I'd find a DynDNS client written in C. It would be more
easily portable. Any client written for Linux/POSIX in C should have no
trouble running on the N800. IIRC I use ez-ipupdate for my personal
server.
