There is nndb which uses Berkely DB I think.  It's written in Perl.  I
have done a half-assed attempt at providing a backend for it, but I'm
afraid it won't work.

nndb speaks NNTP but groks a couple of additional commands for
deleting and moving messages.

Since NNTP is a protocol well understood by Gnus, that might be an
approach.  But I also like the idea of providing a socket-level
interface to the DBMS in Lisp and to then use that.
