To change it dynamically, you would have to alias your cd command to run a script which would do the change directory AND change the title of the terminal window.

To change the title dynamically you need to use escape sequences, see
dtterm(5). The escape sequence is <ESC><]><l><your text><ESC><\>

Note, the <> characters are produced for clarity only, they do not
appear in the sequence itself.
