Yes: use MSA/MTA as the keyserver, both for lookup and registration.

For verification/key lookup results can be attested to via DNSSEC.
A client's MSA could check the peer's MTA on behalf of the MUA.

I think this solves all problems, including aliasing, except in the case
where the sender doesn't trust its own MSA as to the local-parts of
peers.
