I don't know about g-brief, but the "brief" class (in package
ntgclass) enables titled footers. For instance, the command
\voetitem{bankaccount}{1234567890} results in a foot item titled
"bankaccount"

I need to write many letters, and therefore I made my own
class file, hitlnl.cls, derived from brief. It has four footers, and
lists essentially as follows:

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesClass{hitlnl}[1999/10/31 Fist, beta, version]
\LoadClass[adresrechts]{brief}
\voetitem{Telefoon:}{1234567890}
\voetitem{Fax:}{0987654321}
\voetitem{\textsc{kvk} utrecht:}{6789012}
\voetitem{E-mail:}{\texttt{paul.huygen@huygen.nl}}
\setlength\footsep{30mm}
\ondertekening{Paul Huygen}
\renewcommand{\briefhoofd}{ **fancy header for the letter**}
\newcommand{\vg}{Yours sincerely,}

Creating a letter is now very simple:

\documentclass{hitlnl}
\begin{document}
\begin{brief}{Mr. Doe \\ street nr \\ city}
\opening{Dear Mr. Doe,}
This is a very short letter.
\closing{\vg}
\end{brief}
\end{document}
