You don't need a .gro file; GROMACS happily accepts most coordinate formats. 
Probably .pdb is the most convenient for moving from CHARMM to GROMACS.

Or just upload everything to CHARMM-GUI and have it build the system and give 
you all the inputs you need.  Note that CHARMM27 is not a protein force field. 
What you're using is CHARMM22/CMAP.
