Doing so will tell you nothing about whether your "simulation is correct."  The 
problem is that it is very difficult to measure what you want.  You can get 
partial densities along one dimension with g_density (caveats aside about the 
accuracy of this method), but you need the total volume to take the partial 
densities and convert them to particle numbers.  I know of no way to directly 
measure these, since the partial densities vary as a function of box length.  I 
really don't see much of a point in doing this, because all it verifies is that 
the number of particles is fixed, which you already know to be true.
