Have you succeeded in getting this to work? I just tried starting
gnus-unplugged for the first time and it works for me, but I used:

(load-library '"gnus-agent") 

in my .emacs file and then

M-x gnus-unplugged.

If you ever manage to get Qgnus to work unplugged for a foreign server 
please let me know.
