Yes, it's in http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PerGroupSubDirectories.
But there's no .php file associated with it -- it's just a configuration
setting:

    $WikiDir = new PageStore('wiki.d/$Group/$FullName');

After doing this it's necessary to move existing page files into
per-group subdirectories and make sure that each per-group 
subdirectory has appropriate file permissions.  I might come up
with a PHP script that can handle this automatically
(especially since I think I'll be switching pmwiki.org to
per-group subdirectories as well).
