By "groups" do you mean "wikigroups"?  If so, the easiest way would
be to probably make 'text-align:right' the default in the per-group
css file.  For example, if pub/css/ArabicGroup.css contains

    p { text-align:right; }

then all paragraphs in ArabicGroup would appear right-aligned.  To
right-align more than just paragraphs:

    td, th, p, li, div { text-align:right; }

To right-align only the things that are in the main text body,
while leaving the rest of the skin alone:

    #wikitext { text-align:right; }
