I just went through this exercise, and the way I did it was to get
caught up-to-date during a period in which no news feed was going on,
and then by using readnews -p >/dev/null, getting my .newsrc on the new
machine also up-to-date.  (up-to-date means no aricles left to be read.)
 This only works for moving on machines at the same site, approximately,
and if there is a time during which no news feed happens. 
This is the case here since both machines involved are fed from the
same machine, and no news passes during "normal" working hours.
