I think the command that may be more useful to you in not setBox, but "set"
itself:

   set <unit> box { x y z }

This allows you to create an orthogonal box with dimensions that you choose
(presumably taken from the packmol inputs or outputs). It also sets the
proper box flags in the prmtop file, so is marginally easier than hand-editing
everything.
