Dear Anna,
Yes, it is possible to use DFT for QM/MM calculations with AMBER using any of the supported external QM programs.
If you have not performed any QM/MM simulations before, I suggest to first use one of the built-in semiempirical QM methods. Switch to DFT with external QM programs once you have confirmed that your QM/MM setup is working as expected. Finally, keep in mind that DFT will be much slower than MM or semiempirical QM/MM.
All the best,
Andy
