Probably not.

You could have a small shell script. Run it regularly via cron or use
the inotify facilities to fun it on files as they get made.

A simple find(1) incantation like:

  find your-dir \
    -name public\* -exec chmod a+rw {} ';' \
    -o -name private_g1\* -exec chmod o-rwx {} ';' -exec chgrp g1 {} ';' -exec chmod ug+rw {} ';' \
    -o -name private_g2\* -exec chmod o-rwx {} ';' -exec chgrp g2 {} ';' -exec chmod ug+rw {} ';' \
    ......

Untested.

I must not fear.  Fear is the mind-killer.  Fear is the little death that
brings total obliteration.  I will face my fear.  I will permit it to pass
over me and through me.  And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye
to see its path.  Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.  Only I will
remain.
