Not with /etc/group on linux. You may want to look at NIS which (I believe) has the concept of "netgroups". Alternately, you can use LDAP with a custom schema.

In that case, you might find the LDAP Implementation HOWTO useful. It assumes a linux-based ldap server, but also explains how to get PAM working so it will authenticate against LDAP.
