That would look like so:

*._smimecert.gmail.com IN SMIMEA 2 0 1 <blob>
Keep in mind that this only supports signature verification, not
encryption, one can't encrypt to an intermediate CA, one needs the
leaf public key for that. So enabling encryption on first contact
requires publishing per-user keys by some means.
Otherwise all one gets is authenticated key exchange, possibly
followed later by encryption once leaf keys have been exchanged in
both directions.
