There's no such variable.  The variables you're looking for are
gnus-select-method and gnus-secondary-select-methods.  I'd suggest:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnmaildir "" (directory "~/.nnmaildir/"))))

>     (setq mail-sources '((maildir :path "~/.nnmaildir/")))

If your mail is delivered directly into the same maildirs that you use
as Gnus groups, then you don't need to set mail-sources.  Also note
that the :path of a maildir mail-source is itself a maildir, which
directly contains cur, new, and tmp subdirectories.  But the directory
of an nnmaildir select method is up one level - a directory which
contains maildirs.
