Um, do you mean you want to move them to nnimap groups? nnimap is a client, not a server.

But I'm confused, do you want to access your mail remotely, via (nn)imap or fetching the mail via IMAP to a local nnml spool? If you want to access your mail remotely via (nn)imap, the variables you mention are not used at all. The variables only have semantics only if the backend download mail locally to split them. nnimap access mail remotely (such as nntp), so any procmail-splitting would have to take place on the server. (Or with the nnimap splitter.)
