It's not native, but it could be done

There's a Domino router feature called "Hold undeliverable mail". When you turn this on, messages that are not an exact match for a recipient address will end up being stored in the mail.box file(s) on the server with their status set to "Hold", instead of simply being rejected.

You could write an agent or a server task to scan the mail.box files periodically, looking for the pattern real_address+label. The code could parse off the label, store it in another field, and then release the message to be delivered to the recipient. Or it could do anything else you want it to do, including actually delivering the message by writing directly to the recipient's mail database with the address intact -- and then obviously deleting from the mail.box file. Care would have to be taken with messages that are addressed to multiple recipients, obviously.

(Note that you can't actually put an agent in the mail.box file, as that's never been supported, but you can still write an agent that reads mail.box.)
