When I needed to create some new atom types and parameters, I
ended up following the example of leaprc.ff99 in $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/cmd.
When I need it in xleap, I just type 'source leaprc.ppv' and it
loads in like the built-in force fields. The parm file (ppvmod.pcy)
and library files (*.off) are in dat/leap/parm and dat/leap/lib.
Here is my dat/leap/cmd/leaprc.ppv:

logFile leap.log
#
# leaprc for adding the atom types defined in ppvmod.pcy
# (This file was created by editing a copy of leaprc.ff99)
#
# load atom type hybridizations
#
addAtomTypes {
        { "SC" "C" "sp2" }
        { "TC" "C" "sp2" }
        { "CP" "C" "sp2" }
}
#
# Load the ppv frcmod parameters
#
parmppv = loadamberparams ppvmod.pcy
#
# Load t4r residue library
#
loadOff t4r_res.off
loadOff arms.off
#

  Hope that helps - John
