You should never try to extract equilibrium properties from a system that has not properly equilibrated. If you don't have snapshots from proper Boltzmann sampling (and no way to reweight the snapshots to arrive rigorously at Boltzmann sampling), then computed thermodynamic properties will be wrong.
Normal mode analysis is not special here. It takes more snapshots to converge a quasi-harmonic entropy calculation, but in both cases you need to be 'equilibrated'.
