If this is a website that is calling you, then obviously you can get the info (if in a Java servlet through HttpServletRequest's getRemoteAddr and if in a GWT RPC call through the same mechanism available in the LocalThread (I forget the exact name) of the remote method itself). This is very easy.
If you are connecting to a remote site from w/i GAE, then you are using either a task queue, XMPP, or URLFetch (if not sending emails around as a means to communicate). I suppose you are using URLFetch. In this case, you either have the host name (if you had the IP address, you would not be asking this question). So, I am assuming you got the host name through some request from the user as if the user was the one whose IP address you needed, you could have received it as described earlier. So, you need to lookup the IP address for the hostname ... you need to ask an external web service to resolve it for you against, say 8.8.8.8 ...
