Depends on the way you're issuing make_ndx.  You can preserve the existing custom groups when writing a new index file by supplying the old index file as input to make_ndx.  If you're using default file names (hint: always provide your exact command!) then it will otherwise be overwritten.

make_ndx -f conf.gro -n old_index.ndx -o new_index.ndx

will preserve your custom groups and allow you to add new ones.
