I think you'll find that Thunderbird's address book has no concept of groups at all. But you could use an attribute like employeeType (from the inetOrgPerson objectClass) instead, and TB can make use of that.
Have a dig around in TB's about:config editor and look at all the 'attrmap' options - you'll find that all the fields in a TB address book entry can be mapped to LDAP attributes however you see fit. Unfortunately they can't be mapped to search filters, so you can't really do anything useful with memberOf.
