Yes, after using Gnus on one machine, copy ~/News/marks to the other
machine. Make sure you call the server the same on the two machines,
in the server definition, otherwise you'll have to copy each server
directory separately.

I'm not sure this is possible to do easily now. ~/.newsrc.eld contain
the relevant information, but it also contain some information that is
per-instance and should preferably not be synchronized. E.g., which
articles are locally cached, and which articles are in the agent, and
the server definitions.
However, it would be simple to move the gnus-topic-* setq's inside
~/.newsrc.eld to another file, and then you could synchronize that
file.
Getting rid of ~/.newsrc.eld would be nice, and shouldn't be all that
complicated. One idea would be to use customize-save on some of the
variables, e.g. gnus-topic-*.
I'm not sure why gnus-format-specs is stored in .newsrc.eld though.
Shouldn't this simply be a customized variable?
