This is completely untested, but I think it should do the job.  It
creates a score file /tmp/gnus.score that contains just one entry
assigning to xxx articles a score of -10000.  Via gnus-parameters, this
score file will be used in yyy groups only.  Additionally, the expunge
below limit is set to -9999 in those groups so that you don't see the
articles at all.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defvar my-gnus-yyy-score-file
  (expand-file-name "gnus.score"
		    temporary-file-directory))

(with-temp-buffer
  ;; Every article with a Subject containing "xxx" gets a score of -10000.
  (insert "((\"subject\" (\"xxx\" -10000 nil r)))")
  (write-file my-gnus-yyy-score-file))

(setq gnus-parameters
      `(("yyy" ;; In every group matching "yyy" use the score file generated
	       ;; above.
	 (score-file . ,my-gnus-yyy-score-file)
	 ;; Don't show articles with a score lower than -9999.
	 (gnus-summary-expunge-below -9999))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Not sure, maybe there's a better way to do that...
