off the top of my head I can think of a couple of ways
1. replicate the wmparc.mgz stream. For this you will need to create an 
annotation from your GM ROIs by combining them into a ssegmenation, then 
using mri_vol2surf to create a surface-based segmentation, then using 
mris_seg2annot, then use mri_aparc2aseg to create an aparc+aseg.mgz type 
file, then mri_aparc2aseg again to create the wmparc.mgz type file. This 
will take some trial an error as the command lines are a bit picky (esp 
mris_seg2annot)
2. simple dilation of the GM ROIs followed by taking an intersection 
with the WM mask. You can use mri_binarize to create the WM mask, then, 
for each GM ROI, use mri_binarize with the --dilate option to dilate a 
few voxels, then something like fscalc wmmask.mgz and roidilated.mgz -o 
roidilated-in-wm.mgz
