Ok - it's one of those lipids you're interested in. 

Actually, we discussed this in gmx-developersa few days ago:
http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-developers/2010-August/004643.html

So, the conclusion is that there might be a way to include these residues as 
they are described in CHARMM (by building them from "patches") but that 
requires code changes in GROMACS in the line of what Roland suggests. This 
might or might not happen. If you want these lipids without having the time to 
wait for such a thing to be implemented, it should be rather straightforward to 
build these lipids (i.e. make new entries in the charmm27.ff/lipids.rtp file) 
by manual "gluing" together the individual constituents. For example, in the 
top file of the CHARMM ff (version c32b1), this information is given for 
building a DPPC:
"""
!The following two residues (PALM and PCGL) and the two subsequent
!patches (EST1 and EST2) are a modular way to create DPPC.
!See the comments with EST1 and EST2 for more details. adm jr., Jul 99

By the way I'm only a poor PhD student, no professor :)
