Isn't this what gnus-newsgroup-variables is for?


,----[ C-h v gnus-newsgroup-variables RET ]
| gnus-newsgroup-variables's value is [...]
|  
| Documentation:
| A list of variables that have separate values in different newsgroups.
| A list of newsgroup (summary buffer) local variables, or cons of
| variables and their default values (when the default values are not
| nil), that should be made global while the summary buffer is active.
| These variables can be used to set variables in the group parameters
| while still allowing them to affect operations done in other
| buffers. For example:
| 
| (setq gnus-newsgroup-variables
|      '(message-use-followup-to
|        (gnus-visible-headers .
| 	 "^From:\\|^Newsgroups:\\|^Subject:\\|^Date:\\|^To:")))
| 
| 
| Defined in `gnus-sum'.
