I was thinking that if you can read news on your home machine, and you 
have a reliable way to get the box's IP (e.g., you have your own domain 
and have set dynamic DNS up for it.) you might be able to run squid and 
use it for the port forwarding.  That way, you can configure Pan to run 
on some innocuous port, connect to the squid proxy and let it talk to 
the news server.

However, unless you're very sure that your employer is OK with this, or 
you don't mind getting fired for circumventing company policy, I'd 
suggest that you just accept that you can't read Usenet at work.
