Hi,
is it possible to define field aliases, calculated fields, or automatic lookups for multiple sourcetypes? It would be great to avoid creating a configuration for every sourcetype itself. Wildcards don't help here.

No, you cannot have wildcarded sourcetype configurations. As @woodcock mentioned, there is a hack, a really messy hack. It is undocumented for many reasons.
You should not use it for these reasons:
Here is the blog post where this stems from http://blogs.splunk.com/2014/07/31/quick-tip-wildcard-sourcetypes-in-props-conf/
Additionally - @jrodman says not to use it, and he would know.
