Gnus offers a minor mode for Dired to do this job:

,----[ (info "(gnus)Other modes") ]
| `gnus-dired-minor-mode' provided some useful functions for dired
| buffers.  It is enabled with
|      (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'turn-on-gnus-dired-mode)
| 
| `C-c C-m C-a'
|      Send dired's marked files as an attachment (`gnus-dired-attach').
|      You will be prompted for a message buffer.

I think it would be rather easy to implement, but I'm afraid it won't
ever be as flexible or elegant as the dired integration is.
