If all residues, including ligands and cofactors, exist in the .rtp database, 
all you need to do is run the structure through pdb2gmx and it will produce a 
topology.  Note that the presence of .rtp entries is a key caveat; pdb2gmx isn't 
magic and won't work for anything you provide as input.  But in the case that 
everything is in place for a given force field, then there should be no problem.

Try it and report back with specific errors if they arise.  Spending too much 
time on the hypothetical gets nothing accomplished :)
