As far as I'm aware of it works with Amber, X-PLOR and Gromacs. See namd
manual:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/current/ug/ --> input and output files.

I use vmd plugin to run psfgen. You need to prepare *.pgn file ( see tutorial:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/SumSchool/materials/sources/tutorials/02-namd-tutorial/namd-tutorial-html/node6.html)
and then use the following command: vmd -dispdev text -e your_file.pgn

Hope that helps.
