I did this on an older project by simply drawing on different layers and then
changing the grouping via text source changes to the .pcb file before output. 
It worked fine.  Doing it this way allowed for toggling visibility.  It was a
little slow as I remember.

This was for a high power design, not high freq, but it was still just as
useful to do it this way.
