Yes. I assume you are using Exim 3. Try a director like this:

my_aliases:
  driver = smartuser
  new_address = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/the/alias/file}\
                {\
                ${if match{$value}{^(\\S+\\s+)\{4\}(.*)}{$2}}\
                }\
                fail}


The regular expressions assumes the separators are spaces. I have not
tested this.
