    Dear GROMACS users,
We're trying to perform a MD simulation of a system with a hematin group but realized that GROMACS does not have parameters for the ion FE2+. We tried to include the parametrs in the file ions.itp but did not suceed yet. Does anybody knows the right procedure to introduce this

It would be helpful to know exactly where you're stuck, otherwise we're left guessing as to what you've tried.

ions into the file ions.itp ? Do we have to change anything more in order to GROMACS recognize the new ion ?

You may have to introduce a new atom type into the .atp file, and set nonbonded parameters for it in ffnonbonded.itp, but also be aware that a crude representation of a transition metal as a normal point charge may not be terribly accurate:
