I am not sure that I understand the question. The x,y,z components of the
eigenvectors are available in the "vecs" file, and you can analyze them in
whatever way you wish. A piece of DNA will not have any rigorous separation
between "longitudinal" and "transverse" modes. Modes can be classified
according to the molecular point group of the minimum energy structure, but
this is generally not very useful for macromolecules.
