Have a look at "Group Topics" toward the end of section 2 of the Gnus
Manual.

I have ssh set up with ssh-agent so I don't need to type a password each
time I connect, then I use a select method like,

        (nntp "whatever"
              (nntp-address "nntp server address")
              (nntp-via-user-name "ssh username")
              (nntp-via-address "ssh server address")
              (nntp-via-rlogin-command "ssh")
              (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
              (nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches ("-C" "-t" "-e" "none"))
              (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet))

My version of the Gnus Manual has a section "6.2.1.2 Indirect
Functions" which shoudl help you.
