I don't think so... look at the man page....

A list of supplementary groups which the user is also a member of. Each group is separated from the next by a comma, with no intervening whitespace. The groups are subject to the same restrictions as the group given with the -g option. If the user is currently a member of a group which is not listed, the user will be removed from the group
Hence, the user will be, I assume, removed from
all groups except their primary group and the beoper group.
I would just go and hack at the /etc/group file, and tack "root" onto the end of the beoper line (comma seperated with the other users listed).

repquota
REPQUOTA(8) BSD System Manager's Manual REPQUOTA(8)
NAME
repquota -- summarize quotas for a file system
SYNOPSIS
repquota [-h] [-g] [-n] [-u] [-v] filesystem ...
repquota [-h] [-g] [-n] [-u] [-v] -a
DESCRIPTION
The repquota utility prints a summary of the disk usage and quotas for the specified file systems.
Available options:
-a Print the quotas of all the file systems listed in /etc/fstab.
-g Print only group quotas (the default is to print both group and user quotas if they exist).
-h Display information in a more human readable format rather than in historic kilobyte format.
-n Display user and group IDs numerically rather than converting to a user or group name.
-u Print only user quotas (the default is to print both group and user quotas if they exist).
-v Print a header line before printing each file system quotas.
For each user or group, the current number files and amount of space is printed, along with any quotas created with edquota(8).
Only members of the operator group or the super-user may use this command.
FILES
quota.user at the file system root with user quotas
quota.group at the file system root with group quotas
/etc/fstab for file system names and locations
DIAGNOSTICS
Various messages about inaccessible files; self-explanatory.
SEE ALSO
quota(1), quotactl(2), fstab(5), edquota(8), quotacheck(8), quotaon(8)
HISTORY
The repquota utility appeared in 4.2BSD.
BSD
June 6, 1993 BSD
