No. The ff03_ua library only knows about proteins, not about general organic
molecules.
It's probably not hard to hand-build an n-alkane mol2 file, however. The
charges are likely to be all zero in a united atom n-alkane file, you you just
need coordinates and atom types.
[But/and: be sure you really want a united atom force field, especially going
forward to other systems (lipids?). There are some good reasons why very few
simulations use the united-atom approximation any more.]
