User-defined flags work with most servers, and it shouldn't be too difficult to implement a useful user interface in Gnus for it. But they are rather limited, only a short string (atom) per message. Annotations can be longer, but I'm not sure they are widely implemented. A tcpdump on an IMAP stream would be useful, to understand what technique you are referring to.
