Yes, you can do these types of things. You'll need to create an FSGD 
file. Search for FSGD on the wiki and go to the examples page, there's 
not an example of 3 groups and 2 covariates, but there are enough 
examples there that you can piece it together. After you have your FSGD 
file, run mris_preproc, mri_surf2surf to smooth, mri_glmfit, then 
mri_glmfit-sim to correct for multiple comparisons. There's a group 
analysis tutorial on the website too.
