You are indeed required to have an MM description of the di-iron center,
but it doesn't have to be all that accurate, since the actual forces
will be determined by the QM part. Basically, you need good
Lennard-Jones parameters to prevent MM atoms from coming too close to QM
atoms.
The rest of the MM force field can use any sort of rough estimate for
paramters. The fact that you are using Gamess has nothing to do with
how the MM force field is being used.

You can't use antechamber for metal centers, or (as you found out) for
more than one residue at a time. The MCPB.py program can help you
create parameters for iron centers.
....good luck....dac
