I don't think you're actually getting the lambda (code) into the list;
instead, you're getting the symbol 'lambda and such into it.  Maybe
you mean something more like

(setq message-required-news-headers
  (append message-required-news-headers
    (list (cons 'Face (lambda ()
                        (gnus-face-from-file "face.jpg"))))))

Or, even,

(defun acquire-gnus-face () (gnus-face-from-file "face.jpg"))
(setq message-required-news-headers
  (append message-required-news-headers
    '((Face . acquire-gnus-face))))

(It's not obvious to me that "~/.xemacs/face.jpg" will do what you
want as an argument to gnus-face-from-file; you might need to pass
that through expand-file-name on the way.)
