I am a member of such a group now;

% cat /etc/group
wheel:*:0:

and have been in other such groups in the past as well.

(SunOS has the "empty-wheel-means-anyone-may-su" beahvior, and it's
documented in the man page.  The Sun SCCS file has only the UCB (5.4)
revision in it, implying that BSD 4.2 was this way).
