Well, sort of.  man edquota says, that it has a -g group option.
But I think, it's a limit of all of them, and not for everybody in the
group.  But what about the -p (prototype) option?  Eg:
group staff has the members: staff1, staff2, staff3, etc, so in the group
file there is a line:
$ grep '^staff:' /etc/group
staff::1234:staff1,staff2,staff3,etc
$ edquota staff1
$ edquota -p staff1 `grep '^staff:' /etc/group|cut -d: -f4|sed -e
's/staff1,//' -e 's/,/ /g'`
$

But I think you cannot set a soft limit, which is bigger than a hard limit ;-)
Maybe the opposite.
