Step 1 would be to create multiple instances in
`gnus-secondary-select-methods' - however
because you deal with several accounts, you
must strive to not just mention them there but
also to get in as much data as possible.

I know of this site [1] - he uses IMAP, but
perhaps the principle is the same for POP:

      (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods                    
            '((nnimap "home"                                 
                      (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")      
                      (nnimap-server-port 993)               
                      (nnimap-stream ssl)                    
                      (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo"))  
              (nnimap "work"                                 
                      (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")      
                      (nnimap-server-port 993)               
                     (nnimap-stream ssl)                    
                     (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo"))))

    You’d then put your credentials into your .authinfo file like so:

    machine imap.gmail.com login mylogin password mypassword port imaps
    machine imap.gmail.com login mylogin2 password mypassword2 port imaps
