See GNUS-NEWS:

 ** The nntp back end store article marks in `~/News/marks'.

 The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable
 `nntp-marks-directory', and marks can be disabled using the (backend)
 variable `nntp-marks-is-evil'.  The advantage of this is that you can
 copy `~/News/marks' (using rsync, scp or whatever) to another Gnus
 installation, and it will realize what articles you have read and
 marked.  The data in `~/News/marks' has priority over the same data
 in `~/.newsrc.eld'.
