This feature has been part of pmwiki all along:
see PmWiki/PerGroupCustomizations as part of the standard
documentation.

If you want to have your per group customizations not in separate
local/SomeGroup.php files, but included in local/config.php,
use this to put your customization codes for group SomeGroup:

$thisgroup = FmtPageName('$Group', $pagename);
if ($thisgroup == 'SomeGroup') {
   # group specific code goes here...
   # ....
}

($thisgroup is just an arbitrary variable name.)
