Very simple to do.

Totally unnecessary to patch qmail. From the man page for qmail-send:
virtualdomains may contain wildcards:
.fax:uucp-fax
:alias-catchall
.nowhere.mil:joe-foo-host

Use ":alias-catchall" in virtualdomains, and create
~alias/.qmail-catchall instead of patching.

With the catchall configuration above, no patching is necessary.
