Or if you do want to use aliases I think something like
wildcard_alias:
driver = redirect
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*{/etc/aliases.wildcard}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
in the directors should do it (note the '*' after the lsearch)
(I currently use this as a 'catchall' to redirect unknown users to a
specific mailbox)
