Gnus can use SOCKSv5 with socks.el from w3.  From my .gnus.el:

(require 'socks)
(setq socks-server '("default" "socks.hostname" socks-port 5)
      socks-username "Login"
      socks-password "Password")

(defun nntp-open-socks-stream (buffer)
  (socks-open-network-stream "nntpd" buffer nntp-address nntp-port-number))

(setq 
 gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.task.gda.pl"
                           (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-socks-stream))
 gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "Mailbox"
                                       (nnml-directory "~/Mail/")
                                       (nnml-active-file "~/Mail/active")
                                       (nnml-newsgroups-file "~/Mail/newsgroups")
                                       (nnml-use-compressed-files t))
                                 (nntp "internal.news.server.somewhere.in.pl"
                                       (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-socks-stream)
                                       (nntp-connection-timeout 5))
                                 (nntp "news.szpieg.gda.pl"
                                       (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-socks-stream)
                                       (nntp-connection-timeout 15))
                                 (nntp "news.gmane.org"
                                       (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-socks-stream)
                                       (nntp-connection-timeout 10))))

Works well with usocksd running from user account on proxying server.
