As far as I can tell, it's sufficient to change

(setq gnus-startup-file "~/.mit-newsrc")
(setq nnml-directory "~/MITmail/")
(setq nnmail-crash-box "~/.mit-gnus-crash-box")
(setq nnml-newsgroups-file 
  (concat (file-name-as-directory nnml-directory) "newsgroups"))

(setq gnus-message-archive-method
      '(nnfolder "archive" 
		 (nnfolder-directory "~/MITmail/archive/")
		 (nnfolder-active-file "~/MITmail/archive/active")
		 (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
		 (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))

but that's only for mail, that doesn't cover news at all. I had to
read source to find these (and didn't get it right the first few
times, but we've already established that gnus is more clever than I
am :-) so it might be useful to put an example in the doc somewhere...
