No. And certainly not in the system filter, which is run at the start of
delivery, before the expansion of any aliases.

Header lines do not necessarily bear any relationship to where the
message is actually delivered.

When an individual address is being directed or routed, $local_part and
$domain contain what you call the "real" destination.

What you probably want to do instead is to put in an extra director,
with "unseen" set, to take copies of messages that are actually being
delivered to the relevant addresses.
