Group properties will do most of this for you.  I do this kind of
expiry for quite a few groups.  nnml is my gnus-select-method (nntp is
secondary) and I expire my group "personal.general" to its archive
companion this way:

((total-expire . t)
 (expiry-wait . 30)
 (expiry-target . "archive.current.personal.general"))

expiry-target is new in Oort.  Your challenge is to find a way to make
the value of expiry-target into an eval -- I don't know if that's
possible or not in the current scheme.
