I don't believe there's a way to have Condor directly consider unix  
groups for scheduling. What you can do is wrap condor_submit with a  
script that determines what groups the user is in and adds  
corresponding attributes to the job ad. The syntax to condor_submit  
would work like this:

condor_submit -a '+InAcme=True' -a '+InCad=False' "$@"

Then, the startds can be configured to require one of these  
attributes to be true in ads of jobs they will run.
