With Nagios 2, yes.

Use Nagios 3 and omit the contact_groups directive in your services.
Assuming you want all service-notifications to always go to the contacts
defined for the host to which the services are attached, that will do
exactly what you want.

For more complex cases, you really do need to specify separate services
although only for the services affected by such complex circumstances.

Read the manual for more details.
