I thought dyndns.org let you do that for free using
hostnameupick.somedyndns.domain.  You can then use a gmail account or
whatever to relay the mail through with SMTPAuth.  As David Lemcoe mentioned
you can use dns.he.net. They also offer IPv6 tunneling for free so you could
tunnel IPv6 to your laptop.

If you are doing this with your own domain, you could probably do it with
the Free version of Google Apps Partner Edition.
