Are you sure you don't mean

(defun gnus-region-active-p ()
  "Say whether the region is active."
  (if (boundp 'transient-mark-mode)
      transient-mark-mode
    (if (boundp 'mark-active)
	mark-active
      nil)))

instead?  The function as quoted above returns t if
transient-mark-mode exists at all (either t or nil), and tries to
evaluate transient-mark-mode only if it's unbound.
