You can use labels.

in .gnus

,----
| ;;         (nnimap "account1"
| ;;                      (nnimap-server-port 143)
| ;;                      (nnimap-address "imapserver")
| ;;                      (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo"))
`----
,----
| ;;         (nnimap "account2"
| ;;                      (nnimap-server-port 143)
| ;;                      (nnimap-address "imapserver")
| ;;                      (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo"))
`----

then in .authinfo:

,----
| machine account1 login YOURLOGIN password YOURPASS
| machine account2 login YOURLOGIN password YOURPASS
`----
