switch accepts the hyphen syntax to use the same action for multiple string patterns. 'if' does not. You could use another switch nested in the first switch to do this: 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {  
      "/events/a-company-event-2010*" { 
         HTTP::redirect "http://oneofourdomains.com/Events/event-2011" 
      } 
      default { 
         switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
            "www. oneofourdomains.com" -
            "www. adifferentone.com" -
            "adifferentone.com" {
               HTTP::redirect "http://oneofourdomains.com[HTTP::uri]"
            } 
         }
      }
   }
}
