This is possible only if you are running PHP on Windows:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php#ini.smtp

On Unix, PHP does not normally use SMTP; it communicates
with a mail transfer agent (MTA) directly; dealing with SMTP is
left to the MTA.

This said, you can still have a PHP script send e-mail via
SMTP (local or otherwise), if you use phpMailer:

http://phpmailer.sf.net/
