If I understand correctly, IPSEC tunnels can only be specified by mean of
their actual endpoints inside the SPD tables. It's not a problem coming
from the Phase1 of IKE negotiation (where you could easily authenticate
using an identifier unrelated to the IP address), but from the semantics
of the tunnel's SPD, where the IP address of the endpoint cannot be
omitted.

The real solution is using ESP host to host encryption between the
firewalls (which can be established without problems between dynamic
address), and then instantiate some other unencrypted tunneling protocol
to route the trafic between the subnets (ppp over UDP, or something else
(gif??)). I don't think this is easily done in pfSense.
