The problem with specifying an IP is that it may change, which breaks

That's what variables in your firewall script are for.
Just re-run it when your network connection restarts:
EXTIF="eth0"
EXTIP=`ifconfig $EXTIF |perl -ne'print $1 if /inet addr:([\d.]+)/'`
iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -i $EXTIF -p tcp -d $EXTIP --dport 80
