You can, but nnmaildir doesn't look at nnmail-* unless you tell it to
(via the group parameters that nnmaildir *does* look at).  nnmaildir
is Different.

(add-to-list 'gnus-parameters
             '("" (expire-age . [(your-expire-age-function)])))
(defun your-expire-age-function ()
  (if nnmail-expiry-wait-function
      (* 86400 ;; seconds per day
         (nnmail-expiry-wait-function
           (gnus-group-real-name gnus-newsgroup-name)))
    nnmail-expiry-wait))

I'll see how much it would impact the existing nnmaildir code to make
this the default when the expire-age parameter is not set, so you
could pretend nnmaildir looks directly at nnmail-*.

See <URL:http://multivac.cwru.edu./nnmaildir/using/#group-setup>,
which I really ought to add to the Gnus manual soon.
