Well, in group buffer, I can usually see how many unread messages are
in each topics(?) like this:

       5: fj.editor.emacs                          000107
       2: fj.editor.xemacs                         000107
      12: fj.os.linux                              000107
      36: nnml:ML.gnus                             000107
       8: nnml:ML.i386                             000107
       1: nnml:ML.mac68k                           000107
       4: nnml:ML.macML                            000107
       1: nnml:ML.yokohama                         000106
       1: nnml:MM.Mag2                             991231
       1: nnml:MM.WebCatch                         000107
       1: nnml:MM.meeting                          991229

# note: I'm a user of *NetBSD/mac68k* and get mails from pop server
        using *fetchpop* (=mail retrieving programs). And in group
        buffer, I type *g* so that I can get mails from
        /var/mail/shigeki and split mails.

Isn't that what you wanna do ?
