An MX record is easy to set up. It is very similar to the NS record for a domain. If someone else does your DNS you should be able to request an MX record for any domain or machine.
If you run your own DNS server you may want to look at http://www.linuxrox.com/software/dns/ for an example, or even better look in your servers docs.
