If you are referring to the KOP gyro, it is already on a board, you can cut off the male end of a PWM cable and solder the resulting wires to the appropriate pads on the board.

If you have a separate gyro, I have not worked with these before, but I would guess that you probably want some filter circuity like what is provided by the KOP gyro board. A daughter board may provide this circuitry in a convenient package.

Others may be able to help more.
