You can create run-time, in-memory, ad-hoc groups using the group-by module in a playbook - http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/group_by_module.html.
Though this wouldn't modify the actual inventory file itself. The groups will be available only during the playbook run itself. Perhaps you can add tasks in the playbook for updating the chosen groups in the inventory file well..
