You can make a product attribute of type multiselect with options corresponding to the available customer groups. Then for each product select the groups that it will be available to. After that you can override Mage_Catalog_Model_Category::getProductCollection and check if customer is logged in, and if so, check his customer group. After that you can filter the product collection by this customer group. Your code should be something like this:

class Namespace_Module_Model_Rewrite_Catalog_Category extends Mage_Catalog_Model_Category {
    public function getProductCollection()
    {   
        if(Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn()){
            // Get group id
            $group_id = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId();
            // Get customer group code
            $group = Mage::getModel('customer/group')->load($group_id);
            $group_code = $group->getCode();

            // Get multiselect attribute options
            $attributeOptionArray = array();
            $attrribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')->getAttribute('catalog_product', 'customer_group_attribute_code');
            foreach ($attrribute->getSource()->getAllOptions(true, true) as $option) {
                $attributeOptionArray[$option['value']] = $option['label'];
            }

            $collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
                    ->setStoreId($this->getStoreId())
                    ->addAttributeToFilter('customer_group_attribute_code', array('finset' => array_search($group_code, $attributeOptionArray)));
        } else {
            $collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
                ->setStoreId($this->getStoreId())
                ->addCategoryFilter($this);
        }

        return $collection;
    }
}
