Thanks to an entry on Ben's site, I am now aware of nntp//rss, a program that acts as a bridge between RSS feeds and a newsreader. I'm going to have to take that for a spin when I get home.
Though, according to the documentation, it listens on port 119, which is currently occupied by inetd and Leafnode on my main box. Maybe I'll have to see if I can change the port, assuming of course that I can specify the server port in slrn.
This could certainly solve the problem I was having before.
Thanks for the mention!
A configurable NNTP port will be in the next release - due in the next few days.

Just an fyi - nntp//rss v0.2 was released yesterday. It now supports configurable NNTP and Web (Admin) listener ports. A number of other enhancements have been made, including a more complete NNTP protocol implementation, supporting a wider range of newsreaders.
