In theory you could although you'd need to create a pdb with at least one of
the solvents in since leaps solvate command will only allow you to solvate
with one solvent.

I am intrigued to know why you'd want to do this, however. The force fields
were never really parameterised with this in mind so you would need to be
careful...

All the best
