It's a very good idea with a more general approach to this.  At the
moment I have the following in my .gnus:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook 'my-setup-hl-line)
(add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'my-setup-hl-line)

(defun my-setup-hl-line ()
  (hl-line-mode 1)
  (setq cursor-type nil))
#+end_src
