As you already have a custom dns setup all you need to do is install 
your dyndns client on your dsl external interface. (I use ddclient from 
the dyndns.org website)

In order for it to be seamless I would then port forward/NAT all the 
services on the dsl ext int to the already existing box running your 
web/mail/etc services. Once port forwarding is set up then turn off the 
custom dns client on comcast and turn on the custom dns client on your 
dsl interface which will update your ip.

Once the ip address for the dsl has propogated through out the global 
DNS. Turn off your comcast interface.
