You should be able to use any force field implemented or supported by 
Gromacs. QM/MM does not depend upon the force field.

I could not really get what you mean. The number of QM atoms in CPMD 
will be coming from the [QM] section of the index.ndx file of Gromacs. 
First you need to create an index.ndx file in the usual Gromacs way and 
then manually add the [QM] section where you mention your desired atom 
ids. The rest of the atoms of your system will go to CPMD as an 
external field where you can manipulate their number by setting up a 
qmmmcoulomb_cutoff (pl. see the other posting today).

If you are comfortable with Gromos FF, go ahead with that.
