Gnus can't know what's spam (not very well at least) but a good external
system can. I use and like Bogofilter which must be trained with good
messages and spam messages. It works very well after a training period.
Bogofilter is a separate program but it's easy to install in GNU/Linux
systems. I don't know about other operating systems.
Gnus's spam system can be configured to use Bogofilter but I agree that
as a whole it's quite complicated. I used it many years - and it worked
nicely - but eventually wrote a simpler Bogofilter-based system that is
enough for my own needs:

Fancy splitting (nnmail-split-fancy) is required because it's the way to
hook custom code to incoming mail delivery.
