Take a look at:
  http://gmane.org/

They provide a very nice mail<->news system, which currently does
carry the FreeBSD mailing lists (gmane.os.freebsd.*).

If your local news server doesn't carry their heirarchy, you can
always just connect directly to news.gmane.org.  I currently use
nntpcache to access both news.gmane and my local news server.
