There are multiple ways to do this.  The first, and highly suggested way is to add the user to /etc/groups.

for example, if wanted to add user cyberfrg to group wheel i would add

wheel:*:0:root,cyberfrg

notice the comma without spaces.
This can also be accomplished by changing the GID of the user in /etc/master.passwd

This isn't suggested.
