Yes, of course. Basically sendmail routes different domains
to mailers defined on sendmail.cf. Mailer defination start with
'M' on sendmail.cf. 

Normally mail domain equivalent of hostname on where sendmail 
is running is routed to mailer defination named with 'local' on 
sendmail.cf. 

Internally on sendmail there is also '*file*' mailer. That
can be considered also be MDA (it is used when mail is directed 
to file on .forward.)

So it is easy to setup (via mailertable) that 'domain1' goes
to 'local1' and so on ....
