You mean something like this, where vi is linked to busybox, and vim is 
linked to vi?

/bin > ls -l vi*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            7 Jun 20 11:21 vi -> busybox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            2 Jun 20 12:07 vim -> vi

I tried this, and it appears that even though vim is linked to busybox 
"through" vi, busybox still figures out that it's being called as vim, an 
applet name it doesn't recognize.

If you know of another way to accomplish this, please let me know.
