I'm not even sure if any of these will work, but you might try  one of 
the following:

1. "pts creategroup user1:mygroup@mycell"

2. ask an AFS admin at the mycell site to create two groups for you 
"mygroup" and "mygroup_admin", then have mygroup_admin by the owner of 
both groups, and add you to mygroup_admin.

3. Create mygroup in your local cell, then have it put on the ACL of a 
folder in the mycell cell.
