It should be possible, but I'd seriously question the reason for doing
so.  It's trivial and cheap these days to set up your own domain and
have it hosted by a free DNS provider like zoneedit.com.  Even dynamic
IP users (like I am) can make this work without a lot of hassles and
expense.

For your hostname, try the IP address in square brackets, like
[1.2.3.4].  Mail to username@[1.2.3.4] should work, but as I said, you
really, really don't want to do this.
