I haven't used the "allowdupe" option, so I don't know if it works for 
GIDs, but supposedly this works:

   user { 'user1':
     uid => 1000, gid => 2000, ...,
     allowdupe => true
   }

   user { 'user2':
     uid => 1001, gid => 2000, ...,
     allowdupe => true
   }

In YAML-ese, I guess you'd just add

accounts::users:
   user1:
     allowdupe: 'true'
