The manual says SCC-DFTB implementation does not support Ewald summation, so I used qm_ewald=0 in the &qmmm namelist. However, if I use NTB=1 in the &cntrl namelist for a periodic boundary condition, PME is always on. Then, can my simulation work properly without any problems?

Yes, it should work. Although PME over the *classical* atoms is on,
qm_pme will be off. You will not have Ewald or PME tratment for long
range electrostatics involving the QM atoms, so you may have to use a
large cutoff, but otherwise you should have no problems.
BTW, this issue has been solved for the next release (Amber 10).
