I think the treatment of charge groups relies more on the force field rather 
than the electrostatics method.  With PME, it is true that you do not 
necessarily need charge groups with integral charge, but not that you can 
necessarily eliminate charge groups altogether.  What force field are you using?

If individual atoms in charge groups are appropriate for your force field, yes.
