You can do something like this:

(setq gnus-move-split-methods
      (lambda ()
	(concat "archive." gnus-newsgroup-name "."
		 (format-time-string "%Yw%U" (current-time)))))

When you then move articles, the default value will be a group with an
appropriate name.  This required manual intervention, but hacking up a
function to do this semi-automatically shouldn't be too hard.
