You can just list multiple alias files in your sendmail.cf file. Here's an
example from our majordomo server

# location of alias file
#O AliasFile=/usr/local/sendmail/etc/aliases,nis:mail.aliases
O
AliasFile=/etc/aliases,/etc/majordomo.aliases,/usr/local/sendmail/etc/aliases,/opt/listextras/extras.aliases,nis:mail.aliases

Note that the word wrapping is due to this email client. Clearly there
should just be a single space between the "O" and "AliasFile".
