Hi Jenny, 
I have added this support and tested it. The current version of /distribution/pkginstall in beaker should be doing this. The new parameter added for groupinstalls is "PKGGRPNAME" .
However you need to be paying attention to the group names with white spaces in it. Those need to be quoted to indicate that they form a single group name. For example:

<param name="PKGGRPNAME" value="Editors &quot;X Window System&quot; &quot;GNOME Desktop Environment&quot; KVM "/>

The job I submitted for it is :

Please try it and update this bz.
