There are a number of `gnus-summary-...' faces that gnus uses for
summary displays; perhaps you could customize them all and add `:inherit
variable-pitch'.  It might be convenient if gnus would have all its
summary faces :inherit from a common `gnus-summary' face so that this
sort of customization could be done more easily...  [But I'm not sure
that face-inheritance is supported in all the systems gnus wants to
support...]

Doing the above doesn't really preserve "tabular alignment" though --
for instance, the first few columns in a summary line are the mark
characters, and if those are variable-pitch, the rest of the summary
lines can be out of alignment; if gnus would somehow use a special face
(which could force fixed-pitch) for those first few columns it would
help, but ... that's a bigger change.
