Dear Ed,
I haven't used it yet myself, but TIP4P seems to be available in the CVS
version and maybe the beta version of 2.7b1.

Here are two threads which give some information

It seems you should contact Peter Freddolino as he has some examples.

Probably you are going to get some comments about sending this to the VMD
list. I've copied the NAMD list, as I am sure others are interested on the
progress of this implementation.

Best.

Josh
