I broke two toes a month ago, didn't break skin open though. could it still be a cause of swollen groin lymph nodes?

Not likely: I do not believe the swelling is due to the fractured toes. You need to have checked asap.

You need to see : An internist if you have swollen groin lymph nodes. This would be a highly uncommon condition associated with broken toes. You likely have something else wrong.
