If you open up your .qgs file in a text editor, you can put:

<legendgroup open="true" checked="Qt::Checked" name="group" >
#This is where your <legendlayer>'s would go...
</legendgroup>

around all the <legendlayer>s that you want to be grouped together. 
Obviously, for name you can put whatever makes sense for you ;-)

Yes it would, and judging by the above, I would say it would likely be 
quite easy as well...
