Perhaps you are missing the Group resource type. If you want Puppet to manage groups, then those are the vehicle. Note, however, that that although you get to decide whether any given group is managed, and if it is, you can specify which gid it should have (even for groups that already exist), you cannot lay down such an abstract rule as the one you actually asked for.
