I would find a similar functional group in aminoacids.rtp (i.e., aromatic ring, 
presumably) and see what is used there.  If you build a topology with g_x2top, 
it will assign parameters for you; how accurate they are I do not know.

Descriptions for most are found in atomtypes.atp.  Otherwise, look at how 
they're used in aminoacids.rtp.  Bonded type names are found in [atomtypes] in 
ffnonbonded (i.e. opls_145 is CA for bonded interactions), which are then used 
in ffbonded.itp.
