Search the docs for:

local_part_prefix
local_part_suffix

Here's my forwardfile router which allows me to use km-whatever
addresses:

forwardfile:
    driver = redirect
    domains = +local_domains
    check_local_user
    local_part_suffix = -*
    local_part_suffix_optional
    file = $home/.forward
    no_verify
    check_ancestor
    hide_child_in_errmsg
    directory_transport = address_dir
    pipe_transport = address_pipe
