Well, I haven't studied Ulrich's NNML module fully, but the difference
is in what purpose they perform (and, of course, the functionality
they provide). NNML takes Gnus created and managed nnml groups and
serves them up via NNTP. The purpose of this, it seems, is to be able
to easily move mail from one Gnus installation to another.
nndb, on the other hand, takes over the management of mail, relegating
Gnus to the role of a client. nndb is much larger and has a bunch of
features to allow Gnus to manage mail via NNTP extensions. The purpose
of this was to have a faster backend than nnml/procmail/whatever.
