James,

I am guessing that you are talking about the provisioned (aka domain)
groups you create in the Google Admin Console where you also create
your user accounts. Theses are reached through the Provisioning API
which does not have a JavaScript client lib. You could use GWT and RPC
or similar technology on AppEngine or your Apache server but only
admins can access this API. So building a webpage, while very
possible, may have a steep learning curve depending on where you are
coming from.

What I did...
I thought it best to have all the Contacts in the Gmail Contacts but
domain contacts don't get there automatically like provisioned user
accounts.
In Java I wrote an App that gets the groups from the domain using the
provisioning API and adds them to the Shared Contacts using the
Contacts API. I put the list of group members in the Notes field so
that when you search for the group you can see who is in it. The App
runs once a day on a server automating the process. This way I just
make my changes in the Admin Console and the rest is taken care of.
This approach also means that your users don't need to go to different
places to get Contact info. It is all in one place in Gmail.
