​I believe there may be some development of this feature going on in some
version of Tinker somewhere (not the official version, though). But for
programs that do this that can be easily downloaded and run, I'm not aware
of any.

QM/MM simulations where MM includes explicit polarization (and in the case
of the Amoeba force field, permanent point-dipoles and quadrupoles) are far
less mature than the (much easier) monopole-only, fixed-charge force
fields.​ The best hit I saw from Google was this:
https://chemistry.osu.edu/~herbert/projects/QMpolMM.html (but I didn't look
very hard).

​Me, no. I won't say it will never happen, but it certainly won't in the
immediate future (i.e., the next couple of years at least).
