Well, here's a guess.  In your .pinerc, check for the news-collections
section.  You should be able to setup a list of news servers, and pick
one from the List Folders screen.  This is just a guess, as I haven't
tried it myself.

I have tried it and it works.  You can have separate news collections
for which point to different news servers.

Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to get them to use separate
.newsrc's
