Is it possible to obtain a static IP address for a Google Cloud Storage bucket for use with DNS? I wish to host it at mydomain.com, and because I also have e-mail at mydomain.com, I cannot use a DNS CNAME record -- I need to use an IP address and an DNS A record.

You can, but doing so requires using Google Cloud Load Balancer: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/adding-a-backend-bucket-to-content-based-load-balancing. The upside of this approach is that it comes with a number of useful features, like mapping a collection of buckets and compute resources to a single domain, as well as the static IP address you want. The downside is that there's additional cost and complexity.
I recommend just using a subdomain and a CNAME record, if you don't need any of the other features.
