There are basically two ways to introduce non-natural amino acids: 

1) if it's a simple modification of an existing residue (like
   phosphorylation) you can patch the existing residue- and writing a
   patch can be fairly easy - see examples in toppar/protein.top in the
   Xplor-NIH distribution (search for presidue).

2) if it's not a simple modification, it's probably best to create a new
   residue type. You can have the prodrg server
   (http://davapc1.bioch.dundee.ac.uk/prodrg/) help with this, but
   there's usually a fair amount of manual manipulation. 

I am happy to help in this process- doing this will force me to
eventually automate the process.

best regards--
Charles
