Having just looked the 2.x and 3.x docs it does not appear so. I haven't 
tried it as I don't manually maintain service groups, but consider 
another way of coming at the problem:

If you add a hostgroup to a service, then you can generate the 
servicegroup around it for web interface usage. This way I don't ever 
maintain servicegroups myself, they are automatically generated so that 
I can just use them for grouping views in the nagios web interface.

This may be a reasonable compromise depending on what you are trying to do.

I wrote a python script to generate the servicegroups file, you can find 
it here:

You can still have a manually maintained servicegroup file as well for 
special cases and use it alongside the auto-generated servicegroups by 
sourcing both in nagios.cfg using a couple of cfg_file lines.
