You would need third party software to do this, and it is not recommended
practice...it is liable to cause you lots of problems down the road. Much
better to host your own mail & avoid having to use a POP connector....I
realize you've said you eventually want to do this, but why not just bite
the bullet now?
See

For Exchange 2000, see
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF002.html for
instructions on how to get Exchange to receive Internet mail sent via SMTP,
the way it's meant to do - will work for E2003 too.
If you have broadband but with a dynamic IP (such as a cable modem/ADSL
account):
You can use a dynamic DNS host such as www.dyndns.org - you set up an
account, such as yourcompany.dnsalias.com, and whomever hosts your public
DNS should set your primary MX record to point to yourcompany.dnsalias.com.
Open up port 25 inbound in your firewall or router, direct all traffic to
your internal IP for the Exchange server.
You run a service on your server (software available for download from the
dyndns website) and set it up to update dyndns with your current dynamic
IP.
