Once you setup a news server in pan, you can edit the servers.xml file 
and point the newsrc entry for that server anywhere you want.

Here, I simply rename the files to reflect the news server name (so for 
example, newsrc.gmane, for the gmane.org list2news server I use to get my 
mailing lists including this one as newsgroups), but you can edit the 
whole path and point it where you want, if necessary.

So just point it at ~/.newsrc, and assuming you have only the one server, 
you should be fine.  (Unfortunately, the newsrc format appears to be 
single-server only, so pan uses multiple files for multiple servers.  
Don't try to point more than one server at the same file or you WILL have 
issues! =8^0  An exception would be servers such as the European and USian 
servers that some NSPs run, that coordinate their available groups and 
article sequence numbering, in which case using the same newsrc for all 
article-sequence-number coordinated servers should be just fine.)
