Yes.  Here is my gnus-parameters setting:

(setq gnus-parameters '(("nndoc:.*"
                                 (gnus-show-threads nil)
                                 (gnus-article-sort-functions
                                  (list 'gnus-article-sort-by-number)))
			("nnrss:.*"
                                 (mm-discouraged-alternatives nil)
                                 (gnus-article-sort-functions   
                                  '(gnus-article-sort-by-number))
                                 (gnus-show-threads nil)
                                 (total-expire . t))))

which you can modify to suit your needs.
