On what side?
The server software can run on any address as long as you don't hardcode the listening IP, just like any other web server. You'd need a way to have the URL point to the right server, of course, so DDNS or similar is a necessity if your server doesn't have a static public IP.
The desktop connections to the machines from Guacamole are tuples of { protocol configuration, hostname/IP, credentials}. If you specify the device Guacamole connects to by its IP and then that IP changes, the connection and configuration will break. You can probably work around that with some kind of dynamic DNS setting, or maybe local name resolution (LLMR and friends) if the machines are on a flat network.

TL;DR you don't need it, but it helps.
