Parameterization questions are asked almost daily.  Check the archive for such
inquiries about drugs, ligands, etc.  (I just replied to one this morning, as a
matter of fact).  Standard reading for such problems:

http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Parameterization

http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Exotic_Species

The PRODRG server can be used to generate primitive GROMOS topologies, but be
advised that the charges given in these topologies are often unsatisfactory.
