When G=C_2 something like this is probably true. Clover May and I were just talking about this the other day; I think you use the fact that the Mackey functor structure is essentially determined by the action of a_{\sigma}, because the image of a_{\sigma} is the kernel of the restriction and the kernel is the image of the transfer. So if you knew the RO(G)-graded cohomology and the underlying cohomology you'd be good because exact sequences of vector spaces split, I think, so you can choose
a basis of the underlying thing where you know what the transfer does, or you know it comes from the restriction of something
but you need to know the underlying thing, because otherwise you can't tell the difference between a point and C_{2+}
(that second kernel above refers to the kernel of multiplication by a_{\sigma})
this is very special to C_2 though, and certainly false even for C_p when p is odd.
actually, sorry I take that back- I guess when things are free maybe it's okay; I was thinking of the more complicated question of recovering the Mackey functor structure just from the RO(G)-graded cohomology, in general, even when you don't have a free thing.
