Yep, editting newsrc-xxx seems to be, after a little playing around, the 
only way to do it.  That falls apart if pan ever decides to update the 
group list (or far more likely :-), I forget that I editted the file and 
tell pan to update the group list.  

It would be nice (and I'll file a bug report to this effect) to have a 
formal, supported method for telling pan to do what my original post 
suggested.
