Hm, I tried to setup XEmacs 21.4.21 and ngnus-0.10 (0.9 is not listed at
gnus.org), but when do (require 'gnus) I get:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "jka-compr") 
  load-internal("jka-compr" nil t nil nil nil) 
  load("jka-compr" nil t nil) 
  require(jka-compr) 
  (progn (require (quote jka-compr))) 
  (eval-when-compile (require (quote jka-compr))) 
  load-internal("mm-util" nil t nil nil nil) 
  load("mm-util" nil t nil) 
  require(mm-util) 
  load-internal("gnus" nil t nil nil nil) 
  load("gnus" nil t nil) 
  require(gnus) 
  eval((require (quote gnus))) 
  eval-interactive((require (quote gnus))) 
  eval-last-sexp(nil) 
  call-interactively(eval-last-sexp)

Where do I get jka-compr for XEmacs?

Hm, that indicates that `org-gnus-store-link' returned nil.  You could
do me a favour and edebug `org-gnus-store-link' and see what's going
wrong.  There might me some differences between emacs and XEmacs I'm not
aware of.

I'll try to fix it as soon as you figured aut where it all fails or I
got XEmacs and Gnus running.  At least with my normal emacs, the linking
works just fine...
