I don't know the answer to this one. I think a pdb file should be allowed,
provided that it was created by something like ambpdb, so that the order of
atoms is the same as in the prmtop file. But ambpdb requires a restart
or trajectory file, so requiring one of the latter is not supposed to be a big
burdern.

If you have done anything after the initial system prepartaion
(minimization, dynamics), you should have a restart file that corresponds to
the end of such a run. You need to choose a file that has the coordinates
you wish to use.
If you just have a generic PDB file (not coming from Amber) you will
probably need to feed that to tleap in order to obtain the desired restart
file.
