Adding user to a group without SAM

How can I add a user to a specific group without using SAM? I know I can user modprpw -G, but that will overwrite any groups the user is in with the ones I specify.

I need to assume that I do not know what groups the user is already in, so I can't put them in the modprpw command. I just need to add this user to a few groups without changing the ones they are already in.

FYI, i'm talking about secondary groups, not their primary group. And I'm scripting this, so I can't just go into /etc/group and edit it manually.

Thanks!
