Not easily. \" indicates reading from a file as you noticed.
Squid-2 has not natural support for character escaping.
Squid-3 contains a token function for this which is not always used
despite places like this where it should be. Patches to make 3.HEAD use
it routinely are very welcome.
There is a trick for Windows native helpers, it should apply also to LDAP.
From the readme of mswin_check_ad_group:
Groups with spaces in name, for example "Domain Users", must be quoted and
the acl data ("Domain Users") must be placed into a separate file included
by specifying "/path/to/file". The previous example will be:
acl ProxyUsers external NT_global_group "/usr/local/squid/etc/DomainUsers"
and the DomainUsers files will contain only the following line:
"Domain Users"
Hoping that it works with LDAP quoting.

Guido

[squid-users] squid_ldap_group group names cannot have spaces?
Hello, I have been working on getting my first squid proxy server up, and its been going slow, but good. I got LDAP authentication working, and then group authentication working also. The only problem I found is that a LDAP group with spaces in the name does not work. I have ready online that you should use single quotes to specify group names with spaces but it still does not work. My group name is like "G SG GroupName", and if I use 'G SG GroupName' when I try to start squid it returns "strtokFile: G not found". I have also tried to escapel the space using \. Doing that I could get squid to start without any error, but the login would not work. Anything I can do to get this working with the spaces? This was my guide to getting it setup. http://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/ConfiguringSquidProxyToAuthenticateWithActiveDirectory
