I'd prefer to handle it like in the patch below.  If the function
message-make-date or nnimap-date-days-ago is called *very* often, then
a single (require 'parse-time) at top level may be better.  But all
require does is a memq on features, which has typically a few hundred
members.  I suspect that doesn't take too much time.
