There has been a discussion about this previously.  The upshot was, I
think, to make the mail fetching mechanism take place in multiple
steps.  First, you fetch mail from a number of sources and put it all
into the same backend.  Subsequent steps may fetch from a specific
group in a specific backend (rather than from a POP server, say) and
put it into a second (third, fourth, ...) backend.

I think Lars has said he's thinking about maybe implementing this.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Lars.

If you really need it right now, you could kluge it as follows: fetch
mail normally into the first mail backend.  Then, write a function
which temporarily frobs the list of mail backends and temporarily
changes nnmail-split-methods, and then respools all messages from a
specific group.
