Just for your knowledge, the Eclipse CDT integration of GDB does provide
register groups, but it seems to be done within eclipse.
I didn't work on it myself, but I found this comment:

 /**
  * For the GDB GDBMI implementation there is only on group. The GPR and FPU registers are grouped into 
  * one set. We are going to hard wire this set as the "General Registers".
  */

And then everything about register groups is being done without using MI or GDB.
If such an approach is sufficient for you, it would be much easier to get done.
