I don't think so.  But you can do it this way:

[devel]
    valid users = +devel
    path = /shares/devel

[IT]
   valid users = +itguys
   path = /shares/it

[Finance]
   valid users = +fin
   path = /shares/finance

...

Then

/shares/devel
   symlink to actual /export/devel folder
   symlink to other stuff devel needs to see.

/shares/IT
  symlink to /export/devel
  symlink to /export/IT
  symlink to /export/finance
  symlink to /export/marketing

/shares/finance
   symlink to /export/finance
   symlink to /export/marketing

...
