COMMENT:
Many thanks for your reply :

Peter Stern <peter_at_wiscpa.weizmann.ac.il>
CONCLUSION : not possible, however, Peter mentioned a possibility which comes very close and which I might use :
/filesystem -root=0 GROUP1:GROUP2 : this works with some restrictions (see THE REPLIES)
THE REPLIES:

do not ask me why but I had the same problem. Change ":" with " ", i.e.
-access=GROUP1 GROUP2 & and I hope it will work. Regards, fb

I asked this question a while ago. The answer that I got was that you
can not use netgroups for the root permissions. Only one person said

Exporting root access filesystems require specifically named hosts. This =
is valid for all architectures i know.

Nope. In the root access list are no NIS netgroups allowed. Only hostnames

Yes, according to the man pages the first format supportas netgroups, BUT
-root=hostlist supports ONLY host names or IP addresses in the client
specification.
You can do:
/file_system -root=0 GROUP1:GROUP2
The problem arises if you want to allow OTHER hosts to also mount, but
with different privileges. Then you have to do something like:
/file_system -root=host1:host2:[host3]...,access=...
or
/file_system -r=0 -rw=host1:host2:[host3]...
