No.

They're already there as tip*p.itp - see the contents of 
share/gromacs/top in your installation. You just need to #include the 
right file. Note that for the purposes of genbox, SPC and TIP3P are 
equivalent. IIRC there's some poking around you need to do with amber99, 
but you should check its documentation for what to do there.
