In your .gnus you can use LABELS for each account, and then in .authinfo
you use label instead of server address. Something like:

in .gnus:
,----
|         (nnimap "gmail-account-1"
|                       (nnimap-server-port 143)
|                       (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
|                       (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*"))
|                       (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.emacs.d/.authinfo"))
`----
(You can add multiple accounts)

then in .authinfo:

,----
| machine gmail-account-1 login account1@gmail.com password yourpass port 143
| machine gmail-account-2 login account2@gmail.com password yourpass port 143
`----
