I believe you mean add an existing USER to an existing GROUP.

If you create your own group, a new Groups disclosure appears
alongside "Other Accounts", which then lets you select group
membership by a bunch of checkboxes. There is, however, no way to edit
membership for existing groups.

The best way of directly manipulating groups at the low-level is to
use the dseditgroup command. See its manpage for more information.
