I don't think you need to.  If user exists on localhost, and sendmail 
knows that it is to receive mail for all the server.domain.com hosts and 
localhost is listed as the MX for all of the server.domain.com's, then I 
would think that it would deliver to user at localhost.

If it's not that simple, I've made to many assumptions based on lack of 
more info.

Otherwise, I'd look at virtusertable or aliases.
