In addition to the JSONP option, you could also use a Web Proxy. This is simply a server side script that sits on your domain. It takes the POST from your domain, repackages it, POSTs it to the secondary domain and sends the response back to the browser.
http://yourdomain.com/yourform.html POSTs to --> http://yourdomain.com/webproxy.php POSts to --> http://externaldomain.com/somescript responds back to http://yourdomain.com/webproxy.php responds back to http://yourdomain.com/yourform.html If you're working with PHP you'll probably use curl. I've gotten this to work on my site with the jquery validation and form plugins. It's not too complicated.
