No most of the time, but you can easily analyze each part of your 
trajectory by embedding the Gromacs command line in a while loop. In 
Bash, it gives something like:

    npart=xxx
    i=0
    while [ $i -le $npart ]; do
        g_xxx ... >& g_xxx.out
        i=$[i+1]
    done

I guess it depends on the time scale of the phenomenon you want to 
observe and on how often you have sample your 
coordinates/velocity/energy during the computation. For a short time 
scale phenomenon, like bond stretching, you can split your trajectory 
into pieces of, let say, 5 ns and consider each piece as independent. 
For a long time scale phenomenon, you will have to split your trajecory 
in bigger pieces or even merge all the parts.
