I've been using BBDB-based splitting for some time now. You'll need
gnus-bbdb from:
<URL:http://www.cs.ubc.ca/spider/edmonds/usenet/gnus/gnus-bbdb.el>
You can simply set nnmail-split-methods to gnus-bbdb-split-method.
Alternatively, you can use nnmail-split-fancy with the gnus-bbdb
function but that requires a minor tweak to the gnus-bbdb.el

'gnus-private' is used for regular email to handle splitting by
sender. The problem with sorting incoming mail by sender is that
mailing list emails could end up in a whole bunch of different groups
if the senders are in your BBDB ('gnus-private'). 'gnus-public'
alleviates this problem by splitting the message to the mailing list
group first. If crossposting is disabled, then the message ends up
only in the mailing list group and none of the individual groups.
