The file nndb.el contains the beginnings of a `writable nntp'
implementation -- it is derived from nntp.el but provides a few
additional commands for writing and deleting messages.  I'm afraid it
pretends to work but really doesn't, but maybe you can get some ideas
from it.  As you can see, defining a new Gnus backend isn't all that
complicated.  (It's only my lack of Lisp programming and my lack of
understanding the Gnus backend stuff and the nnoo stuff that prevents
this from really working.)
