No, not currently.  But several other users have expressed an interest 
in a feature like this.  There is another new feature related to this 
concept that is currently in Fedora DS and being improved for the next 
version - http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/MemberOf_Plugin

Would you be able to create a wiki page to explain your requirements for 
such a feature?  That would be a very good place to start designing this 
feature.
