I've done this before with a regular expression table, like this:

virtual_alias_maps: regexp:/etc/postfix/spam_prefix_map, <...other virtual_alias_maps...>

where /etc/postfix/spam_prefix_map looks like:

/^spam-(.*)@.*$/   ${1}
/^notspam-(.*)@.*$/   ${1}

You can "man regexp_table" to learn more about this style of mapping.
In the future, you might find questions like this better-addressed on
a postfix list, or on the dspam-users list, though, since those tend
to have a wider readership.  

This list is more properly used for debian-packaging-specific
questions about dspam.
