but surely an MTA derives it's usefulness by running on port 25. i don't remember reading about where in the DNS MX RR you could specify what port the MTA would be listening on...
Well, it must specify it somewhere, since at least a couple of times a week we have our users ask how to stick a port number in an MX record. :) Where they got this idea is beyond me (unfortunately), but it's quite a common question...
