Make a paper template. It will fit perfectly the first time if you are careful.
Put paper up on the wall with the pipes etc. Don't be afraid to tear or push paper over stubbed out nipples. Tape around the holes or tears to be sure there is proper support so when you remove the template it will be clear to you where to cut/trace the cut line.
The other thing you can do is to put the greenboard in in sections but that is not as structurally sound and you need stud backing to secure the pieces.
The template idea works quite well if you take your time and make sure everything fits properly with the template.
If you have cardboard or heavier paper that works even better for the template. succes to you!

Measure twice and cut once! Measure from the base up and from the back corner in. Draw a pencil line and cut at the intersection. The diameter of the opening should be no more than a half inch larger than the faucet. Good Luck
