So if i signup now with my @gmail account through persona.org, what happens when google starts supporting browserid natively?

Then you'll start seeing an authentication page hosted by Google, instead of the Persona fallback. Native options are always tried first, both for client-side navigator.id functions, and for server-side authentication. If one of those is missing, then login.persona.org fills in for that component.
The BrowserID protocol states that Google should be used for authentication, instead of the fallback persona.org account.
