not necessarily. NAMD and VMD don't share any runtime code,
but it is likely that somebody working on NAMD has copied
some of the convenience routines over. you have to check, though,
whether the semantics are identical.

this is much more a tcl question than a namd question.
the tcl command to list available commands is: info commands.
so just write a small input file that contains:
info commands vec*
and run a serial namd executable on it, and it should print out
which commands starting with vec are supported.
and then run: vmd -dispdev text -e on it and you can see what
is defined in VMD.
my guess is that there are more vector commands in VMD then
in NAMD, but you may get lucky that all what you need is
available. also, you can easily define your own (for as long
as it is pure Tcl code).
cheers,
axel.
