You could use a Backdrop to bound your nodes then collapse that to a Group.
Also, there was a method added in 6.3v5 to select nodes contained in a Backdrop node, something like: nuke.thisNode().selectNodes() which makes it easier to script something like this up. I did this for a one-off case so it behaves like a Shake-style group for a particular node that we wanted to expand/collapse. I created expand and collapse buttons that would populate the Group UI knobs to the Backdrop property panel, then when you collapse the Backdrop it would put the knobs back on the Group. It would be handy to see this work for anything, the way it did in Shake.
