Remember, there's lots of programmers here, and Do What I Mean,

OK.

Here's an idea: 
- back up ~/.evolution/mail/local/ !!!!!
- get gmailfs working (left as an exercise for the reader)
- create a folder and sub-folder
- mount gmail under the new ~/.evolution/mail/local/ folder and
  sub-foler (bit of cleverness needed here)
- recreate your folder tree under folder/sub-folder
- drag emails to the sub-folder tree

Unfortunately, the emails won't be accessible to gmail as regular
emails.
