Now that I have my Feisty server up and running to my liking, is it now
possible to set up a pop3/smtp mail server so that I can send and
receive email on my Linux box rather than having to rely on my ISP?

There is absolutely no problem with this.

If is it possible, how difficult is it to do? Is there a package I can
install? I've been able to install RHEL, Fedora Core and Ubuntu Dapper,
and Feisty (server and desktop) with minimal pain. I've even got my
mediawiki up and running on my Feisty server. So unless it's really
complicated, or the instructions are obfuscated, I should be able.

Usually the most MTA support smart relay, that means that you'll send your
mail to your ISP and he send it to the real recipient.
You can catch your email directely (client), fetchmail (catches the email
and stores it into your local serveraccounts).

It depends on what you want, nothing is impossible (without baking bread
in dvd burner).
