No, mod_alias can't access the query string.

Be aware that a query string is not part of a URL; It is data appended to the URL to be passed to the resource *at* that URL. For this reason, many Apache directives that test URLs cannot 'see' the query string.

You can use mod_rewrite, and access the query string with RewriteCond. The basic syntax would be:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^param_name=value
RewriteRule ^requested_local_URL-path$ http://example.com/new_URL-path [R=301,L]
