I think your only alternative is to find out the range of IP numbers
your ISP might assign (it's probably not large, one C block at most)
and then configure pg_hba.conf to allow access from any address in
that range.  For example, if the ISP says 12.34.56.0 - 12.34.56.255,
then you'd put something like

host         all        12.34.56.0  255.255.255.0      password

I'd recommend using an authentication method other than "trust" ;-)
