I'm not so sure about that. genbox *does* take a top file as an
optional argument. genbox -h tells me:
"Finally, genbox will optionally remove lines from your topology file
in which
a number of solvent molecules is already added, and adds a line with the
total number of solvent molecules in your coordinate file."
I have never used this option, so I don't know exactly how it works,
but I expect it to do what William wants it to do.
