Yes and no.  If you have a command line version of pgp, you can grep
the group lines out of gpg.conf and do some magic to convert them to
pgp -ga commands.  If you don't have a command line version that
supports groups (note that the new PGP 8 command line doesn't) then
there isn't any really good way to do it.  The PGP "PGPgroup.pgr"
files have a private format, and while I suppose they could be reverse
engineered, there hasn't been much need for interchangeable group
files yet.
