Changing layout/css of product detail page dynamically

I am in a situation where I need to have a different layout for a specific Product Type.
It'll be okay if I could load a different CSS for this Product Type.

Is anything like this possible through code/xml?

I am able to identify the product type in catalog/product/view.phtml, will it be helpful?
I also noticed a node in catalog.xml named <PRODUCT_TYPE_grouped> or <PRODUCT_TYPE_configurable> etc.
will something like this help!?

You want to look at catalog.xml not page.xml for product type. This is if you are using magento 1.7 and up.

Your idea is a valid one, something like this should be possible:

<PRODUCT_TYPE_grouped>
    <reference name="head">
        <action method="addCss"><stylesheet>css/your_file.css</stylesheet></action>
    </reference>
</PRODUCT_TYPE_grouped>

Take a look at page.xml to see what other sorts of tricks the same block can perform.
