You need to create a select method first. Maybe something like:
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnmaildir "" (directory "~/nnmaildir")))
Create that directory, and create a symlink inside it pointing to the
~/Mail/spam maildir. Then you should be able to run Gnus and
subscribe to the group. See the "Maildir" node in the manual for more
details.

The nnmaildir server's directory should contain maildirs, or symlinks
to maildirs. If you prefer, you can move the ~/Mail/spam maildir into
the nnmaildir directory, but then you'll also have to change any
references to it in other places.
