Yes. The "image" command will map all of the molecules back into the
periodic box around the point you're imaging.
e.g. "image origin familiar" (the familiar is for the triclinic box).
Then you can strip away all atoms you don't want, and write a series of PDB
files using 'trajout'.
The manual should describe all of this fairly thoroughly.
