First off all you can fully control protonation manually with the -inter
flag to pdb2gmx, and some more flags. Furthermore pdb2gmx computes the
hydrogen bonding pattern in the protein, and if there is indication that
the proton should be on the NE2 rather than ND1 it is put there.
Default  (in solution) is ND1. Doubly protonated is possible but depends
again on your hbonding pattern. If you  runpdb2gmx -debug the complete
list of hbonds will be dumped in pdb2gmx.log
