I have searched and have found:

http://www.newsreaders.com/web/software.html

pnews http://www.digitalmars.com/pnews/ which does not load the 
digitalmars.D newsgroup as it seems to have more messages than pnews 
understands and requires a while truck load of additional stuff to be 
able to display messages threaded.

w3news http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/kp229/w3news/ which crashes

Apache::NNTPGateway 
http://search.cpan.org/doc/BOUBAKER/Apache-NNTPGateway-0.8/NNTPGateway.pm 
which kinda works, but takes forever to list all articles in a newsgroups

I have not had the time to try anything else.
Open Source is nice, but there is definitely a LOT of junk out there.
