Hi,

You can have a look at openff bespokefit:

https://github.com/openforcefield/openff-bespokefit

Although it is not GAFF, openff forcefields are compatible with amber
and you can directly export parameters gromacs or amber topology. I used
bespokefit reparametrized ligand parameters in both amber and gromacs
for RBFE calculations.

best regards,

Juraj
