We do this kind of migrtion by copy the whole Horde database, do the  
upgrade as described and let the horde-db-migrate tool do its work.  
You have to evaluate your config for missing obsolete features though.  
With this your groups should be unaltered, but be aware that we have  
not tested this as we don't use contact groups at all.
