I'm not sure, but I /think/ that's what the "always trust this server's 
certificate" checkbox, in the server settings under security, might be 
for.  Have you tried that?

And you should still be able to start pan, regardless, just not connect 
to the server.  Of course if you have the "get new headers in subscribed 
groups at startup" option checked, in prefs, that could put a kink in 
things, but that's precisely why I recommend people keep both it and the 
parallel option for group entry fetching turned off... there's possible 
side effects like this that make those options rather less wise to enable 
than they might look at first glance.
