Well I'm not sure it's niftier but how about:

exten => _.,1,SetVar(MSN=${CALLERID:7:3})
exten => _.,2, Dial,CAPI/${MSN}:${EXTEN}

Assuming that the 3 least significant digits of their callerid (from 
sip.conf) is equal to the MSN you want. If not use a database get keyed 
by thier sip callerid...

Just an idea...
