Here's what I do:

In .gnus:

   ;; Set up spam reporting
   (require 'spam)
   (require 'spam-report)

I put all my Gmane groups in a single Topic.  Then I customize group
parameters for the Topic ("G p" on the "Gmane" topic line in the *Group*
buffer):

        ((spam-process
          (gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-report-gmane)))

If there is any extra overhead for having all the other spam stuff in there, I
don't notice it.
