I suggest you to take a look at the document called "Routing Incoming Faxes" 
available at http://www.hylafax.org/content/How-To for an overview and then 
look at faxrcvd manpage.

Then, yes, you can do the routing based on the DID and AFAIR it's matter of 
evaluating $CALLIDx (where x is 4 usually but i remember me printing these 
vars to find the right one) variable in FaxDispatch.
