Chuck,
I don't know if Exim will do that (I've never seen someone try a script such as that), however you might be able to do it via a procmail script. A better solution would be moving your infrastructure to a standard LDAP setup (or something that supports LDAP queries), since that is the industry standard and support would be less problematic as time goes on.

Using a script like the one below, is there a way in the exim config file, when it receives mail for $MYGROUP, to run the script, and send the message to the results of the loop (being the users in the group)? This would effectively do what I'm needing, unless someone has a more elegant solution, and would allow the admins after I leave to continue using Apple's tools to create users and groups.
where '$MYGROUP' is the group name.
if you want to loop over a result like this, in tcsh you can do it
like:
foreach i (`niutil -readprop / /groups/$MYGROUP users`)
echo $i
end
Where I have 'echo $i', you can put in anything to make use of the
username as $i.
thanks,

Chuck,
Short answer is no, not natively. Netinfo as I understand it (I'm a
Linux/solaris/win guy so bear with me) is a propriatary Apple LDAP like
system for managing users/groups. The following provider
http://www.padl.com/Articles/LDAPNetInfoBridgeNotice.html offers a Netinfo
to LDAP bridge like program which should allow Exim to make standard LDAP
queries to your user list. That is the theory anyway, OSx isn't a big force
in the server market, and I haven't seen a lot of development for netinfo
yet at all.

Subject: [Exim] Exim, mac os x server, and netinfo
I just finished compiling, installing, and configuring exim on our
xserve running mac os x server 10.2.4. After finishing, I realized
that exim does not check the netinfo (and/or workgroup manager) groups
for delivery, only the users. I have about 15 groups with 30 users
each, and some of them change fairly often.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make exim consult the
netinfo groups and redirect messages to the users in that group.
thanks!
