No, there's nothing like that available right now. Probably we'd want it
to be a search function, rather than marking or limiting, since the
latter would require you to first open a summary buffer containing all
the articles in the group. Search would ensure that you're checking the
whole group for duplicates, and then maybe there could be a dedicated
marking function after that, for marking all but one of duplicate
messages.
But none of that exists right now!
