I don't think there is.

What I would suggest you consider, is to stop having a primary select
method.

I.e. set gnus-select-method to '(nnnil) [at the point where you don't
need that account any more], and have all your select methods secondary,
and therefore qualified and "equal".

That's what I tell anybody who wants to listen to me¹ to do :-)
