Legit, it's even in his wikipedia:

In 1951, along with many other Ivy League alumni, Buckley was recruited into the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA); he served for two years, including one year in Mexico City working on political action for E. Howard Hunt;[23] who was later jailed for his part in the Watergate affair. The two officers remained lifelong friends.[24] In a November 1, 2005, column for National Review, Buckley recounted that while he worked for the CIA, the only employee of the organization that he knew was Hunt, his immediate boss.

But as they say, once a company man...

*edit: He might have been a stooge within the CIA, as in rich kids playing spy
