Yes. sander/pmemd will run MD using any topology file, no matter how it's
created (as long as it's a valid prmtop). A notable exception is variable
1-4 scaling, which was added to the prmtop file for AmberTools 1.4, and is
not recognized in amber10 (amber10 doesn't know what to do with variable 1-4
scaling). However, you need to extract AmberTools 1.4 into the amber11
directory, do not try to put it in the same directory as amber10.

ff99bsc0 loads all the ff99SB parameters by default, so you only need
leaprc.ff99bsc0 (note there is no period before the 0).

You can either use the source command (source leaprc.ff99bsc0) in the xleap
window, or invoke xleap with

xleap -f leaprc.ff99bsc0

Both should work.

Good luck!
