hostgroup-defined services with notifications defined by other hostgroups?

I'm sure this is something other people have wanted to do, but I must not
be hitting the right combination of search terms when looking for it.
I have a bunch of servers for which I'm using hostgroups to manage their
monitored services. In other words, there's a set of standard service
checks for Windows servers, another set of standard checks for Linux
servers, and so on. I then have subgroups for the hosts at each site:
Windows servers at site 1, Windows servers at site 2, and so on. I'd like
to be able to use the site groups to determine who gets notifications for
service failures while only defining the services once. Is this possible?
I suppose I could make something work by hacking with user macros and some
custom notification commands that make their own decisions about whether
to send the emails (or whatever), but I'd rather work within Nagios'
structure. Is my only option to define a separate set of services for
each site's hostgroups?
