It'll work if you define global variables $MyGroup and $MyPage that
have the values you want.  However, you have to be a bit careful
here, because if these variables are frequently changing value (e.g.,
in a loop of some sort), you'll also want to set $GCount=0; to get
FmtPageName to reset its cache of variables that it uses to speed
things up.  And resetting the cache is a bit of an expensive operation.

In PmWiki 2.0 you can get things into FmtPageName (w/o worrying about
the cache) by doing  $FmtV['MyGroup'] = ...
