add NIS user to local group

I simply need to add a NIS user to a local group (floppy, cdrom). Is
this possible without spending an hours worth of uid/gid BS?

I was hoping it would be something simple like:

local /etc/group:
....
floppy:x:25:user1,user2,+nisuser
cdrom:x:25:user1,user2,+nisuser
....

which obviously doesn't work. Any ideas?
