Yes.  I Do it in the gnus-summary-generate-hook:

(defun jmv-gnus-prepare-groups ()
	    ;; My mail groups
      (cond ((string-match "nnbabyl" gnus-newsgroup-name)
	     (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date
						gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score)
		   ))
	    ;; Archive groups
	    ((string-match "nnfolder" gnus-newsgroup-name)
	     (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date)
		   ))
	    ;; Draft group
	    ((string-match "nndraft" gnus-newsgroup-name)
	     (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date)
		   ))
	    ;; All others
	    (t
	     (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-subject
						gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score)
		   ))
	    )
  )

(add-hook 'gnus-summary-generate-hook 'jmv-gnus-prepare-groups)
