Postorius' URL config does allow for some customization, but I doubt
it will be easily possible to style list summary URLs to match the
MM2-style "mailman/listinfo/{list name}" URLs. The reason is that
Postorius uses the "list-id" property as unique identifier in URLs
which is generally different to the list names used in MM2-URLs.

What we could do though (possibly as part of the migration routine) is
to auto-generate rewrite rules for major web servers like
Apache/nginx/... redirecting MM2-style URL requests to the new ones
(using HTTP status code 301, which would also tell search engines that
the change is permanent).
