In response to your first question, yes: simply do this:

    gpg -r friend1 -r friend2 --encrypt

In response to your section question, GnuPG does not provide this
functionality internally, but I've got a wrapper script that is capable of
doing such a thing so that you could do:

    salias gpg -r friends --encrypt

...and it would expand to:

    gpg -r friend2 -r friend2 --encrypt

Tools to create an invisible wrapper functionality are also available.
It's actually project "salias" on SourceForge, but I haven't been able to
create a release yet since their CVS is broken, and my net connection on
my developement box is getting quirky.
