Basically, DynDNS only give you a free internat hostname, nothing more.
So it won't help you resolve the 80 blocking issue.

Though I think it is rare an ISP will blocking 80 port, but if this is
the case,
you can modify apache configuration file to use different port number.

In httpd.conf file, find the line "Listen 80" and replace 80 to
another number.(ex 81)
then in your browser, http://blahblah.dyndns.org:81/
