yes, in a sense that it does not interfere with kmail/akonadi directly.
it just fetches emails from your (imap)server, archives them in an mbox file 
and then deletes them on the server.
next time kmail/akonadi are synced with the server, the old mails are gone,
that's all.

well, the only difference from your desciption is that archivemail will scan
your imap server, not your local folders (which are just a local copy of what 
is on the server, with disconnected imap) and do just what you described.
and as it is a command line tool, it can be invoked via cron and thus be
easily automated.
a drawback, however, is that archivemail can just handle one (imap-) folder at 
a time/invocation, and creates an archive mbox for just that folder, not a 
whole folder structure/tree.
