Yes.  Try setting Alternate-Mailboxes in your .mh_profile.  For example, my 
mail is all forwarded to dave@rosesun.rosemount.com, but the main mail machine
here is rosevax.  Here's my Alternate-Mailboxes: line from my .mh_profile:

Alternate-Mailboxes: dave@rosesun, dave@rosevax, rosevax!dave

This seems to cover the vast majority of the cases.  Oh, I also have -nocc me
set for repl.
