In general the only changes one needs to make when using a particular
newsreader with Noffle is to tell the newsreader not to cache articles but read
them from Noffle every time (otherwise if Noffle ever just reads an overview
and shows the 'will fetch article body later' message, the newsreader will
cache that and never show you the fetched article).

I've not tried it myself, but the noffle NOTES says the following about slrn:

Version 0.9.5.2:

Ok. You can change some keybindings, by saving the following script to
~/.slrn.sl and adding "interpret .slrn.sl" at the end of your
~/.slrnrc

   % SLRN script for better interplay with NOFFLE news server.
   % Redefines some keys for opening articles without modifying flags.
   define my_article_linedn()
   {
       variable flags = get_header_flags();
       call ( "article_linedn" );
       set_header_flags( flags );
   }
   define my_scroll_dn()
   {
       variable flags = get_header_flags();
       call ( "scroll_dn" );
       set_header_flags( flags );
   }
   define my_hide_article()
   {
       variable flags = get_header_flags();
       call ( "hide_article" );
       set_header_flags( flags );
   }
   definekey( "my_article_linedn", "\r", "article" );
   definekey( "my_scroll_dn", " ", "article" );
   definekey( "my_hide_article", "h", "article" );
