Yes, no problem. Have you read the Inn install doc in 
/usr/local/share/doc/inn/INSTALL
This is a step by step guide to the *long* configuration.

Note that if you want to suck in news from another news server you also
need some other software, the best one being newsx (in the ports).

You also need to edit the "active" file to add newsgroups.
