Not really.
From the Gnus info:
All the following marks mark articles as read.
`r'
These are articles that the user has marked as read with the `d'
command manually, more or less (`gnus-del-mark').
`R'
Articles that have actually been read (`gnus-read-mark').
`O'
Articles that were marked as read in previous sessions and are now
"old" (`gnus-ancient-mark').
[...]
So the only difference between r and R is really a visual cue to you
as to whether you read or just marked an article in the current
session. Either will show up as O in subsequent ones.
