Yes; any Gnus backend can be agentized.  (Even nnweb, I think.)

Uhm -- from the pop server, into the agent, and from there into nnml?
Wouldn't that be a waste of perfectly good bauds?

I think they way to do this is to write a script that tells nnml (on
the other side of the line) to snarf in mail.  Then the Gnus agent on
this side can fetch them over the line.
