Use TS conditions:

[1]http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsref/4.2.1/view/1/4/

and tt_news TS reference:
[2]http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/tt_news/3.0.1/view/1/4/

You can make something like this:

lib.news < plugin.tt_news
lib.news {
   code >
   code = LIST
   // and rest of the tt_news stuff
}

//conditions, TSFE:id = x , where 'x' it's uid of the page where news 
should be displayed
//using some more conditions you can display LIST and SINGLE view on the 
same page
//which makes sense while using RealURL and 'fixedPostVars' with tt_news
[globaVar TSFE:id = 123]
categoryMode = 1
categorySelection = 1,2

[globaVar TSFE:id = 124]
categoryMode = 1
categorySelection = 3,4
[global]

post comment:
If you do not plan to display news from these pages on other pages (but 
just on the exact location) you can also do not use categories at all, 
make sure that you haven't set 'pid_list' value anywhere and then 
tt_news will fetch the news from the page where list is displayed...
