Yes, groups would be a very logical thing to have in pg_hba.conf.
Unfortunately, we don't have pg_group information available to the
postmaster.
The only thing I can think of is to dump the groups out as files and
enable those in pg_hba.conf, perhaps just like we allow @file includes.
I would probably use % for group names and dump them in data/global.
How does that sound?
