You don't need the huge sleep if you launch it within the actual
connection. Here's what I use:
(setq
gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.telemumble.com"
(nntp-address "localhost")
(nntp-port-number 11901)
(nntp-prepare-server-hook
(lambda nil "tunnel prepare"
(call-process "ssh" nil 0 nil "-f" "-q"
"-L" "11901:news.oneblame.com:119"
"telemumble.com" "exec" "sleep" "60")
(sit-for 3)))))
