Pretty straightforward,I'd think.  Do a cvs checkout of gnus first
(see Gnus webpage).  Do a ./configure making sure it can find the
right Emacs and then do make, that's it.  Don't do make install.  Add
the gnus cvs checked out folder into your path to make sure that's
read first.

Second time around when updating, do a cvs upd followed by make. 

I have my Emacs setup like this

c:/gnu
c:/gnu/elisp
C:/gnu/Emacs-2x.x (all the versions from 20.7)
c:/gnu/elisp/gnus-cvs
c:/gnu/elisp/org_git
c:/gnu/bin
