I would like an entry  in the Nagios sidebar that says patching which would then give a web page view of the six patching groups on one page. This makes it easier for admins to disable notifications for a large number of servers with one click.

It's not a PHP thing... Nagios does not have functionality to limit (or expand, depending on how you look at it), the display of multiple hostgroups that are a subset of all hostgroups. The only exception to this is limitation through authentication, which wouldn't appear to fit your goals.
