We use a similar setup here, using prefix.1234@???, which is parsed
using Exim's filtering feature (assuming you have filtering enabled and
don't have access to the Exim configuration file). In our
/etc/vfilters/mydomain.com file, I have:

if
$original_local_part matches "^prefix\\\.[0-9]+\\$"
then
pipe "php -q /home/user/script.php"
endif

with the script running a regular expression match to extract the number
from the destination address.

We're running WHM/cPanel here on FC3 with this working fine.
