here is one way to do it, there may be others:
use ptraj to strip out the water from the trajectory, then
use sander with imin=5 (check the manual, page 95) and read in
the trajectory file with maxcyc=1 and dx0=0.00000001.
you can then extract the energies form the output file.
another way to do it would be to use the MM-PBSA scripts.
you'd need to check the manual and examples for details.
there are also decomposition options in sander, again you'd need
to do some checking on it. look for "idecomp" in the manual.
I don't know if this would easily do what you want.
