I don't quite understand the 'from fencepost.gnu.org' but maybe
(untested) something like this in .gnus.el will work ?

(setq gnus-select-method 
      '(nntp "gnu" (nntp-address "whatever.gnu.org")))

I don't know - but googling for examples of use of gnus-select-method
and nntp might get you a little way.

Yes, the manual's pretty abysmal for learning from - I had to read the
thing a few times and take notes. But, hey, you get what you pay for.
