DAL isn't a different ligand, it's just different coordinates. You can use
ALA parameters for it as long as your input coordinates properly have it
set to the D isomer. See for example

Experimental and Computational Analysis of Protein Stabilization by
Gly-to-D-Ala Substitution: A Convolution of Native State and Unfolded State
Effects. Zou, J., Song, B., Simmerling, C., Raleigh, D., Journal of the
American Chemical Society, 2016, 138 (48), 15682–15689

I'm not aware of any existing ACB parameters. I would suggest capping it to
the dipeptide (acetylate and amidate) and using that to generate partial
charges. From there you can treat it as a ligand, but if you end up using
GAFF atom types then you need the cross terms between GAFF and the protein
force field in order to model the backbone. Also, GAFF types for the
backbone would not use the existing protein parameters, which have been
highly optimized over the years. I think you'd be better off using the
standard protein atom types for the backbone, perhaps adapting GAFF for the
side chain. It's small enough that following the ff14SB protocol to
optimize the side chain rotational profiles wouldn't be that difficult. Not
a trivial exercise, though. Maybe someone else here knows of automated
tools for this.
