Can be done quite easilly, actually; I have been doing it all along.
The trick is to maintain separate .newsrc files (.newsrc for mail,
.newsrc-server for news), and use "correct" values for
gnus-select-method. I use a set of foo-gnus functions to Do The Right
Thing for me (rat:gnus is just a wrapper which does a bit of other
housekeeping for me):
(defun mail-gnus ()
(interactive)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnml ""))
(rat:gnus t))
(defun ccs-gnus ()
(interactive)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.ccs.neu.edu"))
(rat:gnus nil))
To "convert" an existing setup, I think the easiest thing to do is to
copy .newsrc and .newsrc.eld to .newsrc-server and .newsrc-server.eld.
Then start Gnus with each value of gnus-select-menthod and delete the
groups you don't want. This is a lot easier than editing a .eld file by
hand.
