I don't know if this is the "correct" way to do it, but I just copied
the openbsd-localhost.mc and added the following line:
define(`SMART_HOST', `mailgateway.mydomain.tld')dnl

Then I rebuilt the .cf file and installed it.  Then I edited
/etc/mail/aliases and redirected root and my own account to
<accountname>@mydomain.tld so my smarthost would accept the relaying
(and ran newaliases).  Now all the local mail to accounts I care about
goes to my main mailbox on a third machine (e.g. test box -> mail
gateway -> host w/mailbox).

YMMV.
