Let me start with I have a similar situation:
LAN-------MyQMailServer-------(Dial-up)-------(.*)Gateway==MailGateway,.
..
... and I had no problems setting the mail-related things up.

Is that MX record neccessary? Mailer system that wants to send e-mail to
one of your users will complain if you are not connected at the time it
sends the mail.

Yes, but you will also need fetchmail.
fetchmail setup is quite simlple after reading its docs, write me if no
success.
On the qmail side you will need the locals control file containing your
domain (mine also contains full server name and IP but it seems obsolete)
and maybe rcpthosts (read man qmail-control et al about it).
Good luck
