Take a look at
http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/creating-content-rule-conditions-and-actions
- you'll need to create a new content rule action, but that shouldn't be
so hard.

I would possibly just make a bespoke action type for this use case,
rather than try to generalise too much. You'll need some logic to
determine where to create the folder and what to name it that's probably
not going to be easy to generalise beyond this use case.
