	Nope.  By definition, SMTP uses port 25, and MX records cannot 
change that.  If people ever start using SRV records, I believe that 
might give you the option to specify the port number, but that's 
going to be a long, long way off -- perhaps ten years or more.

	If you want to run a mail server on a port other than 25, you'll 
need to run a port redirector of some sort on a machine, router, 
switch or whatever Network Address Translation device that sits in 
front of the host in question.
