It would be fairly easy to change nnimap splitting such that it looks
at ~/.nnmail-cache.  But you have to change more code in nnmail.el so
that it works well with nnimap.

Currently, the whole thing is rather limited, I'm afraid: it works
only for one backend.  It stores group names without the server name
in .nnmail-cache and if the `primary mail backend' changes all that
data is bogus.

Wasn't there somebody working on changing this?  I forget.  But I
think you will find something in the archives for the Gnus mailing
list.
