I'm not sure if there is a way you can implement __getattr__ in your C# class 
(and have IronPython Do The Right Thing,) but you could do something like the 
following IronPython code:

import YourAssembly

class DynamicPropertiesContainer(YourAssembly.DynamicPropertiesContainer):
     def __getattr__(self, attr):
         try:
             return self.GetDynamicProperty(attr)
         except NoSuchDynamicProperty:
             raise AttributeError, "'%s' object has no attribute '%s'" % 
(type(self).__name__, attr)

Assuming of course your GetDynamicProperty method throws an exception when 
trying to get a property that doesn't exist, otherwise modify accordingly.
