You can use an image codec based on devIL, or some other image library, that supports GIFs to use them in CEGUI. But animating the GIFs is probably another matter; I am not that familiar with GIF, but I assume an image-library that can load them has some kind of gif-update function to cycle frames. So all you need to do is update a CEGUI::Texture with the new frame, each cycle.
