You have to setup your /etc/postfix/main.cf like this:

alias_maps =    dbm:/etc/postfix/aliases,
                dbm:/usr/local/mailman/aliases.mailman

alias_database =        dbm:/etc/postfix/aliases,
                        dbm:/usr/local/mailman/aliases.mailman

Then, I just do "postalias aliases.mailman" when I change 
~mailman/aliases.mailman
