I believe that's supported in the SQL-RADIUS export, although I have not 
used that feature.  From looking at the code for Freeside 1.7.3 for 
FS/FS/part_export/sql_radius.pm and the online demo, it appears that you 
have to set "Radius group mapping to reason (via template user)" in the 
export configuration, and set up a template user with the required 
RADIUS groups, and also a suspend reason.

Presumably when you suspend the user and give the corresponding reason, 
the SQL RADIUS export finds the RADIUS groups in the template user and 
applies them to the user you're suspending.

I hope this helps.
