I can't just point you at a part of the manual and say "yes, like
that", no :-). But I'm not sure what exactly you really want; "tag a
group of files" seems like it could mean some different things. What
do you want to use this for? How would it work?

As Derek mentioned, if you want the hash you can use any SHA1 tool,
like the commonly available sha1sum. Monotone also provides a simple
tool for general SHA1ing -- "monotone identify".
Usage:
$ monotone identify <my/file
Or:
$ monotone identify my/file
(but the latter doesn't take absolute paths, I'm not sure why not.)
