A possible workaround might be a cron'd dns lookup and thereafter write the 
(new) ip adress to a temp-file when changed ? Or a lookup after tunnel 
termination ?

I think you refer to this directive in racoon.conf(5):

  Remote Nodes Specifications
     remote (address | anonymous) [[port]] [inherit parent] { statements }

As you see, it's documented: either an address, or 'anonymous'.
But again, even whether the DNS lookup be done at runtime and not at 
config-time, if nobody changes the SPD entries racoon will NEVER negotiate a 
new tunnel with a different peer. No way.
