Here's a solution. It is for Grouper 1.4, but should work with 1.5 too:
http://tasler.net/pebble/default/files/UnixGroupHook.java

To use this class, create table, sequence, group type as stated in the 
comments, then call
public static void setUnixGroupId(Group group)
from your Hook in groupPostInsert and groupPostUpdate. Note, a certain 
Group name will always get the same ID even if being deleted and 
re-created, this was an import precondition here at Freie Universität 
Berlin. Depending on your requirements this may or may not be what you want.

For us, this works like a charm so far. We would love to see something 
like this in standard grouper, but I guess it's a bit too specific.

Basically, this is what Loris suggested in
https://mail.internet2.edu/wws/arc/grouper-users/2009-03/msg00043.html

Cheers,

Mirko
