Simply retain the coordinates in the starting structure when running pdb2gmx. 
Note that pdb2gmx will generate some spurious bond and angle interactions in the 
case of rigid water, so either (1) remove those interactions in the topology 
afterwards or (2) separate the protein and water, process the protein, and 
simply paste back the water coordinates and proceed.
