For certain classes of message RT::Extension::ServiceUpdates could be useful,
but it's undocumented and seems to make some assumptions about what's a good
thing to do i.e; it prevents access when a message is in place.
Apache::Motd is a
more general solution, but it sounds like you want to create a nodelet:

Make a plugin with an html/Elements/PluginName:

  <&|/Widgets/TitleBox,
      title => loc("PluginName") &>

  <div class="rtxtags">
  ... #Do stuff here
  </div>

  </&>

  <%INIT>
  ... #or here, to check user group and display your message
  </%INIT>
