Gnus of emacs21 not reading NNTPSERVER on Fink/Mac OS 10.4.3

I cannot tell whether this is a problem in emacs21, or in the Fink version of for Mac OS 10.4.3:

I can get emacs21 to read the NNTPSERVER variable if I type (in uxterm/bash):
  env NNTPSERVER=<newsserver> emacs21 &
but I cannot get emacs21 to read it otherwise, for example, by putting
  NNTPSERVER=<newsserver>
into ".profile" and ".bashrc", nor does typing
  NNTPSERVER=<newsserver>
  emacs21 &
work.

If I make a ".gnus" file with say
  (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news1.comhem.se"))
  (setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'ask-server)
  ...
then Gnus loads and works for news reading. But I am curious about this problem with emacs21 not reading an environment variable, it apparently should.
