Theoretically, yes, provided that you supply any corresponding parameters in,
e.g., ffnonbonded.itp and ffbonded.itp. However, there is an unresolved bug
related to atomtype assignment that may be relevant:
http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/618
It seems to me that any alterations to the .atp file cause things to break down,
so do not be surprised if there are problems.
