I mean, if there is KUser why shouldn't there be KGroup?
A grep for 'struct group' in my KDE CVS (does not have all subdirs though) 
gives the following possibilities of using KGroup:

kdeadmin/kdat/FileInfoWidget.cpp
kdeadmin/kuser/kgroup.cpp  <-- this is another KGroup implementation
kdebase/kdm/kfrontend/kgreeter.cpp
kdebase/kioslave/nfs/kio_nfs.cpp
kdebase/kioslave/smb/kio_smb_browse.cpp
kdebase/kcontrol/kdm/main.cpp
kdebase/kcontrol/kfontinst/kio/KioFonts.cpp
kdelibs/kio/kio/chmodjob.cpp
kdelibs/kio/kio/kfileitem.cpp
kdelibs/kio/kio/karchive.cpp
kdelibs/kio/kfile/kpropertiesdialog.cpp
kdelibs/kdecore/kpty.cpp
kdelibs/kdecore/kstandarddirs.cpp
kdelibs/kioslave/file/file.cc

So I think there are enough cases where it could be used.

Greetings,
