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
