(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "?"
  (lambda (n) (interactive "p")
    (save-excursion
      (gnus-summary-mark-as-dormant n))))

will do the trick.  Perhaps you could put lots on non-moving ticking
commands (like this) on `M-C-?', `M-C-u', `M-C-d' (or wherever)?  I
don't feel that things like this should go into the distribution,
though.
