You can use the gnus-private field to split mails according to the field
gnus-private:

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SplitMailUsingBbdb

Since I retired Gnus mail splitting in favor of procmail on my mail
server, I'm now happily using this

http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/emacs/niko-bbdb-split.el

to generate procmail rules based on the BBDB gnus-private
fields. Together with Tramp, it automatically creates a procmail rules
file on the mail server via ssh, which is included in my .procmailrc.
