Gnus handles NNTP servers that need password authentication just fine.
At least for fairly new versions of Gnus. If you have GNU Emacs 20.x,
you should be fine. You can also specify the username and password
required in an rc file, so that you don't need to type it in every
time you access the NNTP server.
It doesn't look like authentication was part of the _original_ NNTP
protocol:

I dunno when it was introduced, though.
