Is groupadd really this limited? look at -g in the manpage: "the default is to use [...] and greater than every other group." So I guess if SYS_GID_MAX==499 and you already have a group 499, you may need to use -g. Create the group with -g, then try to install your rpm (I think that's what you were doing?) and hopefully it will see that a group with the correct name already exists and proceed normally.
