Mathias,

In XMPP, the server is responsible of broadcasting presence for the client.
There is no support in any implementation of the jabber servers for
splitting this broadcasting according to groups. Nor is there currently
support for multiple roster list.
So in the present state of the technology, I have the feeling that you have
to send different individual presence to all contacts of each subgroups to
achieve what you want. In short, this must be client based.

Hope it helps
