All hail JWZ! [1] I'd anchor this expression on the beginning, and
escape the "+":
/^somename\+.*@example\.com$/ some...@gmail.com

I'll toss out another idea, of which JWZ would approve: a hash: map
followed by a static: map:
main.cf :
mydestination = localhost.localdomain[, ...]
# unset virtual_alias_domains to avoid all domains being included
# therein by the default setting $virtual_alias_maps
virtual_alias_domains =
virtual_alias_maps =
hash:/path/to/virtual_alias_maps,
static:somelocaluser@localhost.localdomain
/path/to/virtual_alias_maps :
somelocaluser@localhost.localdomain somelocaluser@localhost.localdomain
some...@gmail.com some...@gmail.com
