do you mean that you want to set up your own news server? if you don't have
access to a news server, how will your proxy get to one?

leafnode may be what you're looking for. it's a one-way NNTP server (it acts
like a news server to the clients; but is a client to the main news server
itself). it will dynamically subscribe/unsubscribe from groups, based on
whether or not you access them. 
check freshmeat for URLs.
