As for configuring a mail server to take mail for you if you're not there I can't say I have any expertise. I'm sure that it can be done.
Also, assuming your DNS isn't going down mail should queue up on the sending servers. I've heard of messages sitting for something like 30 days in some queues. Then when you come back up all of your mail will get dumped on you within a day or so.
So if your DNS is going to stay up you shouldn't lose any mail. Some people will get dilivery delay notices though, but that's okay.
