Well it is not imap, but another solution you might not want:
You can always use fetchmail to fetch your mail from google, and then
read it with gnus. Of course you have to activate pop through googles
web interface first.

I use the following .fetchmailrc
(set your values for USERNAME XYZ LOCAL-LOGIN-NAME)

poll pop.googlemail.com with protocol pop3 port 995
user USERNAME pass XYZ is LOCAL-LOGIN-NAME here
options ssl keep
