Just a stab in the dark here, but I believe it's possible to override 
the render method to get this information via the request parameter.

Something like:
from twisted.web import xmlrpc
class MyXmlRpcHandler(xmlrpc.XMLRPC):
    def render(self, request):
        self._ip = request.something # Get IP information here
        xmlrpc.XMLRPC.render(self, request)
    def xmlrpc_method(self, *args):
        # You can now use self._ip for this instance of MyXmlRpcHandler

Sorry for my lack of knowledge in the request object object, but every 
known html info about the request is available there.
