I would think the easiest thing to do would be to use two MX records in the DNS, the more preferred pointing to your DSL-address and the less-preferred pointing to your POTS-address. You can give your mail machine multiple IP addresses, one on each network space, using IP aliases; see the example in the /etc/rc.conf file. MX records are very useful.
