Not in PINE.
On UNIX, man filter or man procmail

    Yes, it is certainly possible (a lot of us do it), but Pine itself
will not do it for you.  You need a technique which will route the mail
as part of the delivery process before Pine ever touches it.  There are
various ways to do it (often called mail filtering).  Nancy McGough has
a lot of good material on this in her WWW pages.  I never remember her
URL, but I have a link to her pages from my home page.
