  But the default init form of the custom `gnus-site-init-file' is:

    (condition-case nil
        (concat (file-name-directory
                 (directory-file-name installation-directory))
                "site-lisp/gnus-init")
      (error nil))

  So it wouldn't throw an error...  BTW:

,----[ C-h v installation-directory RET ]
| installation-directory's value is nil
| 
| A directory within which to look for the `lib-src' and `etc' directories.
| This is non-nil when we can't find those directories in their standard
| installed locations, but we can find them
| near where the Emacs executable was found.
| 
| Defined in `C source code'.
`----

so it seems strange to use it in this case, it isn't?
