Yes, I would :)

Sounds ok to me. So one would need a config option similar to
'mydestination', a config option to specify the MDA command to use, and
perhaps a third one to switch local deliveries on or off (although e.g.
an empty MDA option could also switch local deliveries off)

Fine with me. You could also have a look at mpop (mpop.sf.net): it
already includes portable code to pipe to an MDA, and since it already
shares much code with msmtp, the code in question might be easier to
integrate.
