I believe you would find man page of interface(5) useful for your needs.
Especially concentrate on the mapping script
Quoting the man page:
<<<
Stanzas defining logical interfaces start with a line consisting of the
word "iface" followed by the name of the logical interface. In simple
configurations without mapping stanzas this name should simply be the
name of the physical interface to which it is to be applied. (The
default mapping script is, in effect, the echo command.) The interface
name is followed by the name of the address family that the interface
uses. This will be "inet" for TCP/IP networking, but there is also
some support for IPX networking ("ipx"), and IPv6 networking ("inet6").
Following that is the name of the method used to configure the inter-
face.
>>>
You could set inside the mapping script a "static" IP but let dhcp
configure the rest.
See also /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz for
"confirmed" mapping examples.
