How would you define that?

I would like to know the potential energy of the protein units in a system of protein, water and salt. V_tot=V_prot_intra+V_prot_sol+V_prot_salt+V_sol_intra+V_salt_intra+V_sol_salt

Is it possible to get the V_prot_intra part of the total potential energy?

No. You can use the energygrps keyword in the .mdp file to decompose short-range nonbonded interactions, but bonded interactions are not broken down into these groups, nor are long-range electrostatics (if you used PME).
