I'm afraid it is not possible. root is a user and only the root user has root privilege. There is no any way to configure a group to have this privilege.
From the other hand you can configure sudo for a group - if that is what you need.

Perhaps, if you explained what exactly you needed to achieve we could help more. The fact is, you can give anyone you wish root access by giving them the root password but that could be dangerous, of course.
