How about setting the `gnus-summary-goto-unread' variable to nil?

I've got this in my .gnus:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; A keybinding for marking messages as read in the summary buffer
;; without moving
(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map [(meta d)]
  (lambda () (interactive) (gnus-summary-mark-as-read)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is that what you're looking for?
