"Analysis" is too vague a description to get a useful answer. Some 
GROMACS analysis tools will be fine with just your trajectory file, some 
will require atom names that could come from a PDB or .tpr file, some 
will require atom types and/or connectivity that must come from a .tpr 
file. This goes for AMBER too!
