Several manufacturers make coatings that are designed to even out and hide the differences between the paper-covered drywall panels and the taped joints between the panels. Their First Coat primer is designed to even out porosity differences and leave a uniform texture. If you don't have a USG distributor nearby, mention the fact that you are painting freshly installed drywall when you go to your paint store and they should be able to point you in the right direction. You should be aware that some drywall installers solve the porosity problem and prevent joint banding by applying a skim coat of drywall compound over the entire wall surface. After priming, apply a top coat with a paint of your choice.
