Well, this all depends a bit on what your `gnus-read-active-file' and
`gnus-check-new-newsgroups' variables are. If `gnus-read-active-file'
is t, then you can just plonk your virtual servers into
`gnus-seconary-select-methods' and Gnus will subscribe you (or not) to
all new groups from these servers.
If `gnus-read-active-file' is nil or `some', then you can set
`gnus-check-new-newsgroups' to a list of select methods to query for
new groups.

Use `C-u C-c C-c' when posting to post with the same server as you
read the group from.
