Strange. There should at least be the mount point even if the fs is missing.
Check the partitions on your local disks: maybe /var got unmounted somehow. If this is the case you could just recreate the mount point and mount it.
To check them list all partitions on your local disks and mount everything not already mounted elsewhere and being of linux fs partition type on a temporary directory.
I hope this helps.

PS: if you find your /var this way have a word with your colleagues: this has not happened all by itself.

snnewgroup
snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8) System Manager's Manual snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)
NAME
snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup
SYNOPSIS
snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]
DESCRIPTION
snnewgroup creates newsgroup assigning it an upstream NNTP server of server:port. If port is not specified, defaults to 119. If server is
also not specified, newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles POSTed to it.
You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new groups.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.
FILES CREATED
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup
Directory where articles will be stored.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created
Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial
Where snget gets its idea of the new starting serial number for newsgroup on server server:port. The value is initialized to 0.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing
If server is specified, is a symlink to /var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory, created if it does not already
exist. If server is not specified, no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created. See also snsend.
