Yes, but only if you remail the message with a different envelope
address. If you don't mind messages to xxx@domain being forwarded to
both xxx@??? and xxx@??? the problem is trivially solved
by aliasing.

Come to think of it, that's probably the simplest way to do this.

. On the incoming server, redirect to multiple different domains.

. On the several servers that receive the mail, rewrite these domains
back to the original domain.

You run the risk of incoming mail from outside being addressed to
xxx@???. Unlikely, because you don't put one.domain into the DNS.
But just in case, you can rewrite on the server too if you want, as long
as you remember to put no_rewrite on the driver that does the
redirection.
