If they're rendered, they could be rendered as tree nodes with no
childs and with some different icon, and in graphical clients the tree
could possibly be rendered using some monospace font, instead of the
usually used non-monospace fonts. There could be a keystroke to
show/hide them.

I think that is the best approach for a tree-based navigation gopher
client.

In Firefox and Seamonkey, that would be the best place for the tree.
