No. The modularity is there for security reasons only. You *could*
write a router module and plug it somewhere, but that would be C code, and
you would need to change the postfix source to do it AFAIK.
What postfix allows one to easily plug is output drivers (i.e. the final
delivery agent), and filters.
Exim's email routing is more versatile than postfix's.
