How about...

(defconst my-nnml-dir
  (file-name-as-directory
   (expand-file-name "g/nnml" (getenv "HOME")))
  "My nnml directory")

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml ""
	      (nnml-directory my-nnml-dir)
	      (nnml-active-file (expand-file-name "active" my-nnml-dir))
	      (nnml-newsgroupsfile (expand-file-name "newsgroups" my-nnml-dir)))))
