Groups from G f are read-only. So what you do is this:
G m nnml:list.foo RET create a new group
Use G f to open the Evolution file
M P a mark all messages
B c nnml:list.foo RET copy them to the new group
And then, you just operate on the nnml groups. Of course, you can use
another backend instead of nnml.

Hi Matthew,
Gnus also lets you respool old mail from the summary buffer according
to your nnmail-split-methods.
Make sure to debug the rules a bit first with
B t runs the command gnus-summary-respool-trace
Then you can use
B r runs the command gnus-summary-respool-article
See docs for these first with
C-h f (describe-function)
Hope this helps,
Adrian
