If you run genconf correctly, then it should give you a proper .gro file, i.e.:

genconf -f oneprotein.gro -o twoprotein.gro -nbox 2 1 1

The above command will give two replicates of your protein aligned along the x 
axis.

If you have two unique orientations that you want to align, you can simply use editconf to assign their position within a box (with -center and -box simultaneously), and simply use the Unix 'cat' command to concatenate them. Then you have to update the second line of the .gro file to reflect the proper number of atoms and remove the superfluous headers and box vectors in the middle of the file.

Subject: [gmx-users] simulating several proteins
To: [email protected]

Dear all,
is it possible to simulate more than one protein with GROMACS?
I would like to simulate two lysozyme proteins not solvated and
I tried changing number of proteins in topology file (attached) and
then I used this modified .top file to generate a .gro configuration
with genbox, but I always end up getting just one protein
in the simulation box...

genbox doesn't take input from the .top file to guide its output.

Use genconf on your original structure file to multiply it. Then edit your .top by hand to match.
