Yes.

The Solaris priocntl() lets you set/get:
P_LWPID
The id argument is an LWP ID. The priocntl function
applies to the LWP with the specified ID within the
calling process.
P_PID The id argument is a process ID specifying a single
process. The priocntl() function applies to all LWPs
currently associated with the specified process.
P_PPID
The id argument is a parent process ID. The priocntl()
function applies to all LWPs currently associated with
processes with the specified parent process ID.
P_PGID
The id argument is a process group ID. The priocntl()
function applies to all LWPs currently associated with
processes in the specified process group.
P_SID The id argument is a session ID. The priocntl() func-
tion applies to all LWPs currently associated with
processes in the specified session.
P_TASKID
The id argument is a task ID. The priocntl() function
applies to all LWPs currently associated with
processes in the specified task.
P_CID The id argument is a class ID (returned by the
priocntl() PC_GETCID command as explained below). The
priocntl() function applies to all LWPs in the speci-
fied class.
P_UID The id argument is a user ID. The priocntl() function
applies to all LWPs with this effective user ID.
P_GID The id argument is a group ID. The priocntl() function
applies to all LWPs with this effective group ID.
P_PROJID
The id argument is a project ID. The priocntl() func-
tion applies to all LWPs with this project ID.
P_ALL The priocntl() function applies to all existing LWPs.
The value of id is ignored. The permission restric-
tions described below still apply.
P_MYID
The calling LWP's LWP_ID, PPID, GID, SID, TASKID, CID,
UID, GID, or PROJID...
We probably don't need all these, but perhaps some of them could
be useful.
