Not sure what you mean by that, but if it's anything like this:

then the answer is no.    ;-)

I've never dug into the google API, but it exists.  I don't know if its capabilities cover anything like this.  I am told that basically everything you do to admin your domain, can be scripted.

This is the only link that I know:
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/admin-apis

It might or might not shed any illumination.

But as you said, if there's a 30 alias limit per user account, that's the *real* obstacle.  With or without API, that's fatal for anyone who cares about this.
