I don't know of a NeXTStep "rn" but there is, however, a very nice news reader called "GNUS" that runs under GNUEmacs.  It is much friendlier and powerful than "rn".  It also hooks into a remote news server protocol called "NNTP" (News-to-News Transfer Protocol)  With NNTP you can have one computer with a newsfeed that servers news to other NeXT's.
