You mean, you used genpr to create a new posre.itp file?  That would be the way
to go.  Then just include the new posre.itp file as you would any other. 
Assuming you have a topol.top from pdb2gmx, look at how other topologies are
included.  That should tell you how to use your new .itp file.  Have a thorough
look through Chapter 5 of the manual for information about topologies if this is
still unclear.
