It's not a lot better, but here's what I do:

In main.cf:
    virtual_alias_maps = pcre:/etc/postfix/pcre_virt

In pcre_virt:
if /(mydomain1|
      mydomain2|
      mydomain3|
      etc...
    )/x
/^(houdini|root|postmaster|abuse|etc)/ houdini
endif

That list is auto generated by my "add a virtual domain" scripts I've
written that also adds the domain to my virtual_alias_domains file.

I'm sure that someone can tell me what's wrong with this, but it seems to
work.
