Ioana,
Assuming that your ions are named in an identifiable manner,
you ought to be able to write a script that uses atom selections similar to:
"name foo and within 10 of (resid blah or resid blah2 or resid blah3)"
You'd then write the script so that you'd do that selection for all frames,
updating a "bin" for each atom index when its near your areas of interest.
You can get an idea of how to do this sort of thing by looking at a
recently posted script that does something similar for a different problem
("Re: density profile"):
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/mailing_list/vmd-l/2529.html
Once you've cruised through all of the frames in the trajectory you'll
have a count of the number of trajectory timesteps that a given ion was
within one of your areas of interest.
My description is a crude first approximation but should be easy for you
to write if you know what you want out of it.
Thanks,
John Stone
