One way is to specify coordinates in Ticks:

System`BarChart[Transpose[{{1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4}}],
 Ticks -> {Transpose at {Table[.5 + 2.3 i, {i, 0, 2}], {1, 2, 3}},
   Automatic}]

System`BarChart[Transpose@{{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}},
 Ticks -> {Transpose at {Table[.5 + 4.6 i, {i, 0, 2}], {1, 3, 5}},
   Automatic}]

Note that default spacing is .1 between bars in group and .2 between groups.
