Why not just check out No Gnus separately and put it into the
load-path before the system elisp files?

From my .emacs (I'm sure it can be made more elegant, I'm no lisp
expert): 

(defvar cvs-workspace
  (if windows-emacs
      (expand-file-name "~/workspacecvs/")
    (expand-file-name "~/cvs/"))
   "The place where I check out CVS workspaces.  On linux I like this to 
be lowercase \"cvs\" for shortness.  But on Win32, that name conflicts 
with the \"CVS\" directory in my CVS-versioned home directory, so it has 
to be something different.")

;; CVS version of Gnus:
(let ((cvs-gnus-directory
       (if (string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version)
	   (concat cvs-workspace "gnus.xemacs")
	   (concat cvs-workspace "gnus"))))
  (add-to-list 'load-path (concat cvs-gnus-directory "/lisp"))
  (let ((cvs-gnus-info-dir (concat cvs-gnus-directory "/texi")))
    (if (boundp 'Info-directory-list)
	(add-to-list 'Info-directory-list cvs-gnus-info-dir)
      (setq Info-directory-list (append
				 (list cvs-gnus-info-dir)
				 Info-default-directory-list)))))
