Yeah? What's the problem?
regression=# create table g (group_name text, group_array text[]);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into g values ('west', '{CA,WA}');
INSERT 0 1
regression=# insert into g values ('east', '{NY,MA}');
INSERT 0 1
regression=# select * from g where 'CA' = any(group_array);
 group_name | group_array 
------------+-------------
 west       | {CA,WA}
(1 row)
This has worked since 7.4 or so ...
regards, tom lane
