I don't think so.  But you can do it this way:

[devel]
   valid users = +devel
   path = /shares/devel

[IT]
  valid users = +itguys
  path = /shares/it

[Finance]
  valid users = +fin
  path = /shares/finance

...

Then

/shares/devel
  symlink to actual /export/devel folder
  symlink to other stuff devel needs to see.

/shares/IT
 symlink to /export/devel
 symlink to /export/IT
 symlink to /export/finance
 symlink to /export/marketing

/shares/finance
  symlink to /export/finance
  symlink to /export/marketing

...
