What exactly do you mean with that?
When setting up Thunderbird for NNTP, TB asked questions like "incoming and outgoing user name", which are meaningless for NNTP (AFAIK); and TB didn't give any place to add any other server than an SMTP server; and even then, it didn't allow for a port change to 563.
I'm sure if I dug further into the TB setup I could set it up for NNTP, but it was extremely clear (like bright blinding sunlight), that either I was in the wrong setup or that TB wasn't meant for USENET news ease of use.
I think that with thunderbird you get a kind of first start setup wizard. *skip that* ("I think I'll configure my account later")
Preferences (you *will* find that ;-) -> Account Settings -> Account Actions -> Add Other Account -> Newsgroup account Afterwards you can set SSL/TLS
