Or:

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "Aioe.org"))

To add a group, I use this:

(defun gnus-add-nntp-group (group)
  (interactive "s Newsgroup: ")
  (gnus-group-make-group group
                         (symbol-to-string (car gnus-select-method))
                         (cadr gnus-select-method) )
  (gnus-save-newsrc-file) )

which I have bound to "a" (for "add").

Otherwise you can just use `M-x gnus-group-make-group'
if you don't mind repeating yourself a few times.
