Thank you, sir. That's nice of Gromacs to automatically assign new atom types 
from an input pdb file. I check out the link as well.

Theoretically, yes, provided that you supply any corresponding parameters in, 
e.g., ffnonbonded.itp and ffbonded.itp.  However, there is an unresolved bug 
related to atomtype assignment that may be relevant:

http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/618

It seems to me that any alterations to the .atp file cause things to break 
down, so do not be surprised if there are problems.
