The short answer is No. It's been a long time since I was heavy into
BIND, but as I remember wildcards don't do what you think they do. Of
course that's very unfortunate because almost everyone wants to do
exactly what you're trying to do.
When I was doing SA work I had domain and host adding done in scripts,
which added the MX for each host.
