For Gnus v5.11 `message-cite-prefix-regexp' is what you look for.
If you use Emacs, not XEmacs, this will work:

(setq message-cite-prefix-regexp
      "\\([ \t]*[-_.[:word:]]+>+\\|[ \t]*[]>|}+:]\\)+")

If you want this variable not to be modified globally, use this:

(defadvice gnus-cite-parse (around recognize-colon-as-citation
                                   activate)
  "Recognize lines started with `:' as citations."
  (let ((message-cite-prefix-regexp
         "\\([ \t]*[-_.[:word:]]+>+\\|[ \t]*[]>|}+:]\\)+"))
    ad-do-it))
