Apparently not.  `gid' isn't mentioned in the sources.

Another thing: `at' was written for Linux and uses setreuid(), but
setreuid() is deprecated and isn't fully compatible in 4.4BSD.  In all
of /usr/src/*bin/*.[ch], setreuid() is only called from contributed
sources:

	usr.sbin/ppp
	usr.sbin/pppd
	usr.bin/at
	usr.bin/ncftp
