There are instructions on gmail for just this type of thing. one thing to note is that if you have multiple gmail accounts you must setup a separate smtp server with each accounts details or you will be able to recieve from all accounts but only send via the one you setup.
I use Mail almost exclusively like this and have over 50 rules for sorting my various newsletters, post replys, family stuff and may others. Check the settings link then Forwarding POP & Imap tab. you have to turn on pop to be able to use mail and there are config instructions for that too. I personally recommend "archive gmail's copy" after pop download this way i can search my mail even if i'm not at my MBP.
