Try this:

~/.gnus.el

(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil)
     gnus-secondary-select-methods
     '(
        (nnimap "FOO"
                (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                (nnimap-user "foo@gmail.com"))
        (nnimap "BAR"
                (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                (nnimap-user "bar@gmail.com"))))

;; nnimap-server-port, nnimap-authinfo-file, nnimap-stream, and
;; nnir-search-engine are at defaults and may safely be omitted


~/.authinfo

machine imap.gmail.com login foo@gmail.com port imaps password foopass
machine smtp.gmail.com login foo@gmail.com port 465 password foopass
machine imap.gmail.com login bar@gmail.com port imaps password barpass
machine smtp.gmail.com login bar@gmail.com port 465 password barpass

I hope you enjoy Gnus!

For sending, you will need to either use a sendmail application capable
of choosing SMTP accounts based on the From: header, such as msmtp (
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusMSMTP ), or configure Emacs's
built-in smtpmail.el according to one of the methods described in
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MultipleSMTPAccounts.  I am currently
happy with using smtpmail.el for multiple accounts, but it does require
some more configuration to be useful.

Best,
Will
