Not currently, and before reading about isync, I probably would have
mapped the T(rash) mark to the Gnus 'expire mark.  The maildir spec
says:
     * Flag "T" (trashed): the user has moved this message to the trash;
       the trash will be emptied by a later user action.
But isync wants the T mark to be set instead of the actual deletion of
the message; it will delete all T-marked messages, no matter how old
they are, so it won't correspond very well to 'expire.  isync assumes
a mail program that never empties the trash.  It's possible nnmaildir
might support that eventually, but it's too much of a special case to
be a high priority for me.
