Sure is.  Check out the "Reading/Posting articles" section of 
doc/install-netnews.html

"Newsgroups can also be gatewayed to email by setting 
/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/news2mail mailbox annotations to the 
corresponding email addresses."

I should probably make a separate "Gatewaying news to mail" section.


So, in cyradm (as an admin) this would look something like:

mboxcfg netnews.misc.test news2mail ericb at transmeta.com

(assuming newsprefix=netnews)
