You can write the following:

1) a function to log all your sent mail message-IDs somewhere
(e.g. diary.el or the Gnus registry)

2) a function that, when a group is visited, checks if any of the
message-IDs match the recorded ones and marks those as read.

None of this exists exactly the way you'd want it, so you'll have to
write a bit of code.
