I'm using Dropbox too for a while now and it works pretty well. The only thing I've never tried is to be logged in on both machines at the same time with a running Gnus on both. Dropbox has no automatic merging, so maybe this could cause some problems. Different from Rafaels setup I've symlink'ed ~/.newsrs, ~/.newsrc.eld and ~/News to corresponding files in my ~/Dropbox directory.
