Sure. Here's my basic method:

# curl -O https://www.jedsoft.org/releases/slang/slang-2.3.2.tar.bz2
# tar xzf slang-2.3.2.tar.bz2
# cd slang-2.3.2
# ./configure
# make
# sudo make install

# curl -O http://jedsoft.org/releases/slrn/slrn-1.0.3a.tar.bz2
# tar slrn-1.0.3a.tar.bz2
# cd slrn-1.0.3a
# ./configure
# make
# sudo make install

Create/configure ~/.slrnrc, score file, terminal properties, and so on. 

I typically configure a Terminal profile to run this command to start
slrn:

clear; ssh -t my.server.hostname 'news'

Where "news" is a bash alias to:

alias news='LOGNAME=jollyroger; slrn -i ~/.slrnrc -f ~/.newsrc -h news://my.news.server --kill-log ~/.killed'

Here's what Usenet looks in slrn on my Mac Pro running macOS 10.14 at
the moment:

The screenshot looks a little more washed out than it appears on my
screen due to my display calibration. 

RTFM on the slrn website for further installation and configuration details.
