sure.

add leiden.nu to "local_domains". With the standard alias file setup,
this will effectively handle account@??? and account@??? in
the same way since the domain part is not taken into account in alias
expansion.
If you want to handle both domains differently, you need a different
system_alias director:
system_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
file = /etc/aliases/$domain
search_type = lsearch
expand = yes
That way, you can define aliases for leiden.nu in
/etc/aliases/leiden.nu and aliases for dsl.nl in /etc/aliases/dsl.nl.
Additionally, you will need MX records for both domains pointing to
your box or use other means (ETRN, fetchmail, UUCP) to get mail
destined for your domains to your machine.
