I think what you are looking for is called "Shared Groups" and is a
(little known/used?) feature provided by the mod_groups module. It
documented here:

    http://docs.jabber.org/server/html/groups.html

Jabber Inc./JIM seems to provide Shared Groups, too:

    http://support.jabber.com/jimhelpfiles/Shared_Groups.htm

I'm not sure though whether that's the same thing as mod_groups.

Hope this helps,
Jan
