Built into Mailman?  No.

The on-disk format is basically just plain files.  So, use the features 
provided by your OS to archive files, whether that's tar, cpio, or whatever.

If you want to archive the raw mbox-format file, make sure that whatever you 
do will preserve the 7th edition mbox format of the file, otherwise the 
archives will be unreadable by Mailman.  IIRC, this is discussed in the FAQ.

Not without modifying the source code, no.
