I was thinking the same thing... How hard would it really be to add a checkbox to the end of a New Topic page that says something like "Use Topic as News Article"...
and then have the portal look through all forums for topics that are flagged as news?
This seems pretty simple, but I know very little about php so if I'm in over my head then somebody please correct me.
