You can use a macro to do this.

For example (from the manual, see the ELisp manual, node "Macros"):

    '(a list of (+ 2 3) elements)
          => (a list of (+ 2 3) elements)
    `(a list of (+ 2 3) elements)
          => (a list of (+ 2 3) elements)
     `(a list of ,(+ 2 3) elements)
          => (a list of 5 elements)

Note how the backquote turns the expression into a macro.

So it seems that in your case, something like this:

(setq nnimap-split-fancy
 `(|
   ("Subject" "POSIBLE SPAM" "SPAM.POSS")
...
  ,(my:nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb)
...
  "MAILBOX"
  ))

should work.
