I know Kirk uses gnus with speakup so it must be doable.

Well, pine can now score messages.  I haven't looked at it, but would guess
that it can score in newsgroups like any other folder.  It doesn't have a
killfile, no, but you could create a filter rule to autodelete messages
with a particular set of atributes.  As far as threading is concerned, I
find that selecting by subject takes care of most of my needs.
