So you might need a lam that doesn't use gcc-g77. Check with their
download page for what's available. You can certainly try to install lam
from source using gfortran, and then gromacs from source will also be
happy.

If it's just a name difference, then you can just rename something, or
override whatever the objection from RPM is. You'll have to know what
you're doing to get the job finished, however.
