I can think of two ways something like this could be done with the
existing PmWiki.

a) only have one group
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/OneGroupForAll

b) use $PagePathFmt to search for pages in multiple groups
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PagePaths
This will only do half of what you want; it will *find* pages
but won't prevent duplication of page names.
