Look for "local_part_suffix" in the Exim documentation.
Have a normal system_aliases director that picks up alias entries of the
form:
local_part: destination
After it put a system_aliases_wc director that picks up alias entries of
the form:
local_part-*: destination
I cannot provide an example off my head, as I remember nothing about
Exim 3 directors.
Actually the fact that I remember nothing about Exim 3 made me check
Exim 3 docs - the name of the option you will have to look for is
"suffix", not "local_part_suffix".

Below is a configuration file for converting a qmail system to Exim 3,
written by Nico (where is he now?). You may find some hints there.
