Of course it can.  I just wanted you to know that it
is more difficult than just updating the .mh_sequence
file.  Gnus will need to read the MH/nmh configuration
files and use any information there.

Also, MH and nmh are developed by different groups of
people.  There are some minor incompatibilities between
them.

Also nmh will start locking folders and its context files
to make things more reliable.  Gnus would need to also do
similar locking.

I can answer any questions about MH or nmh you may have.
Unfortunately many of the details are not documented (except
in the source code).
