This is a simple task that can be done with the Unix 'cat' command.  Thus there 
is no Gromacs tool that reproduces this function.  A few seconds with a text 
editor after concatenation to remove unnecessary title lines and box vectors and 
you're done, assuming (as you've said) that all the coordinates are 
appropriately defined.  The whole process probably takes less typing than 
sending this email :)
