Overlays don't contain metadata directories and don't get synced, so
they don't contain news items. Supporting news from multiple sources is
something that's tied to supporting packages from multiple sources,
which overlay doesn't permit. Fixing that would require fixing portage
to support multiple repositories rather than using overlay, which is an
issue for a different GLEP.
You can use gensync (included with gentoolkit).
$ gensync --help
Usage: gensync <options> repo-id-1 repo-id-2 ...
where <options> is one of
-a, --all-sources - sync all know sources
-l, --list-sources - list known rsync sources
-C, --no-color - turn off colours
-h, --help - this help screen
-V, --version - display version info
