Yes. The values needed for the "id-card" (key) for the lookup are:
1. loc->cat[category]
2. category
3. The struct binding * active for domainname; gettextdir should be
replaced with a function to lookup the binding rather than just
returning the dir name.
These three pointer/integer values uniquely determine the pathname(s)
to try, and thus the mapped translation file to use.

I think that's fine.

It could be replaced with a function calle getdomainbinding that
returns the struct binding * for the domain argument. Then the caller
can use the returned pointer to lookup an existing mapped msgcat, or
read out the ->dirname member if it needs to construct a path to map a
new one.

If LC_TIME and LC_MESSAGES are both the same locale, then
loc->cat[LC_TIME] and loc->cat[LC_MESSAGES] will both be the same
pointer. Thus category also needs to be kept for the lookup (and path
expansion).
Does this help?
I'll review the patch code separately.
