It seems this has been done, at least in CVS:

/----[ from the Gnus info file, node `Fancy Mail Splitting' ]
|   6. `(: FUNCTION ARG1 ARG2 ...)':  If the split is a list, and the
|      first element is `:', then the second element will be called as a
|      function with ARGS given as arguments.  The function should return
|      a SPLIT.
| 
|      For instance, the following function could be used to split based
|      on the body of the messages:
| 
|           (defun split-on-body ()
|             (save-excursion
|               (set-buffer " *nnmail incoming*")
|               (goto-char (point-min))
|               (when (re-search-forward "Some.*string" nil t)
|                 "string.group")))
| 
|      The `" *nnmail incoming*"' is narrowed to the message in question
|      when the `:' function is run.
\----

Is this enough?
