I have it working for one of my domains.

Basically, if you just add the information they give you to the custom DNS records it should work within a day or two, once everything propagates around.

Example:
Set the Name field to _xmpp-server._tcp
Set type to SRV
Set the value to 20 0 5269 xmpp-server1.l.google.com.

Once you setup everything, it should work properly.
