You can add domain groups as users to a SharePoint site, but you can't add
domain groups to Cross Site groups. So your approach would work for the top
level sites, but not for creating your Cross Site groups. You will have to
add individual users to those. But Cross Site groups are a good way to keep
things more central if you foresee having the same users on many sub sites.

As in how to create users for your site? Once in Manage Users, click Add
Users and type in the domain\domain group name, and select the site group
they need to be in.
> 2. Create Cross Site groups to grant a group per sub site
Site settings - Go to Site Administration - Manage Cross Site Groups
Create new cross site groups and then add those cross site group names as
users in the Add Users screen for the desired site.
Note the cross site group info is for WSS, not portal. WSS questions should
be posted in the WSS newsgroup: microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices
