I suggest dumb solution:
M-x new-frame RET M-x gnus RET
If you have nice windows manager with cool select windows application you easy
switch between main Emacs frame and Gnus one...
Really I use at most only 2 Emacs windows. For fast navigation I use saved
points in registers and iswitchb-mode.
I think you can try to hack some Elisp code with use of:
(setq my-window-conf (current-window-configuration))
(gnus)
(set-window-configuration my-window-conf) ;; restore window layout and
;; selected buffers
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Window-Configurations.html
I think that it is you want but I don't how integrate this code with gnus and
your preferences...
Try searching on emacswiki by set-window-configuration keyword...
