I think it can be done with a modification to the skin. The template 
file format includes the option

|<!--function:SomeFunction args-->|
This directive calls a PHP function named "SomeFunction", passing the 
current page's name and the text following the function name as 
arguments. PHP functions called in this manner are typically defined in 
a local customization file.


Suppose the template includes:

<!--function:HideLeftColumn $Group.GroupHeader Site.GroupHeader-->

The function HideLeftColumn would need to read $Group.GroupHeader (if it 
exists) and if it doesn't exist, read Site.GroupHeader (if it exists). 
Look for (:noleft:) in the page text and if found, execute 
SetTmplDisplay('PageLeftFmt', 0);

There is a very small performance hit because pmwiki will have to parse 
the GroupHeder file twice, but normally this is a small file, so the 
extra overhead is very small.

Note that it will read the GroupHeader even if the body of the page 
includes a (:nogroupheader:) directive, which may not be a desired 
behaviour.

I have not tested this, but I think it should work.
