Well, Gnus has variables which you can set to achieve some effect, for
example `gnus-summary-mode-line-format'. You can set this to have
Gnus use a different mode line everywhere. You can also set it's local 
value in a specific summary buffer, to get a different mode line there 
only. One way to do this is by adding `(gnus-summary-mode-line-format
"blah")' to the group parameters.

"Real" group paramaters, like `to-address', are not variables. You
can't query their value by simply evaluating them. But they are
consulted when particular things happen (`to-address' is used by
`gnus-summary-post-news' for example). To differentiate variables and
parameters in the group parameter list, real parameters have a dot
between their name and value.
