I don't think FvwemIconMan can group windows inside one manager
window.  But if you know the window groups beforehand, you can
create a separate window for each of the groups.  Take a look at
the example at the end of the FvwmIconMan man page:

  *FvwmIconMan: NumManagers 2

  *FvwmIconMan: 1 Title           "Emacs windows"
  *FvwmIconMan: 1 Show            resource=emacs resource=gemacs
  *FvwmIconMan: 1 ManagerGeometry 1x0-400+0

  *FvwmIconMan: 2 Title           "All windows"
  *FvwmIconMan: 2 ManagerGeometry 2x4-0+0

It's not exactly what you described, but still better than
nothing.
