This is not possible in Typo3-3.5.0.
However, 3.6.0 offers some possiblilities to do that.

For example you could use so called "user" fields and write your own 
form field rendering script.
I'm not sure, but perhaps the new "Flexible Form" form type also offers 
the possibility to group fields as you want. The documentation for 
flexible forms is expected to be released some time about late January.
