how to find out if an IP address is assigned statically or dynamically?

[Jason Hellenthal]

Just a OOB thought...

But couldn't you adjust a dhclient script to be run up success and assign a description to the interface that the address was dynamically configured by DHCP.

Wouldn't scale well in a large deployment but then again it might for you.
