If you're not using topics, just C-k the nnml group, and C-y it on the
top of the list.

  (gnus-no-server) should be enough.

You could also assign levels to your groups with S l. Then

  C-u [level] gnus 

will activate the groups that are below [level].

If you set your nnml groups to level 3 and your nntp groups to level
4, then C-u 3 gnus will show you your mails, and C-u 4 gnus will show
you mails+news.
