Yes, the tool g_current decomposes the total dipole moment into a
component in respect to the center of mass of the molecules and a
translational term, which is present, if you are dealing with charged
species. So, if you prepare a corresponding index file you can derive
the average molecular dipole moment for every molecule and finally
average the results.
