I think so.

For example, I set gnus-select-group-hook like this in my .gnus:
(setq gnus-select-group-hook
  '(lambda ()
   (setq bbdb/news-auto-create-p
   (or (string= "nnmh:first" gnus-newsgroup-name)
   (string= "nnmh:second" gnus-newsgroup-name)
   (string= "nnmh:third" gnus-newsgroup-name)
   ))))
