I use:

(global-set-key [f11 ?j] 'jdc-gnus-group-select-a-group)

(defun jdc-gnus-group-select-a-group (group &optional all)
  "Select newsgroup GROUP.
Interactively, query for group name with completion.
No article is selected automatically.
If ALL is non-nil, already read articles become readable.
If ALL is a number, fetch this number of articles."

  (interactive
   (list (completing-read
	  "Group: " gnus-active-hashtb nil
	  (gnus-read-active-file-p)
	  nil
	  'gnus-group-history)
	 current-prefix-arg))

  (when (equal group "")
    (error "Empty group name"))

  (gnus-group-read-group all t group))

I used to have this bound to `J', but that got taken over by the
agent...
