vmd 1.8.4 can write trajectory in trr format !!

For many of the analysis tools you can use a coordinate file, either gro 
or pdb file.
To get a tpr file is quite easy from a pdb file if your system is a 
protein. Adding
solvent would more problematic, but feasible.

pdb2gmx -f file.pdb gives you a topol.tpr that you can use.
