One thing that I forgot to mention:

SolvateBox is a Leap command, and has nothing to do with sander or
DFTB. You can use it to create your system, and still run the QM/MM
calculations with no problem.

Ewald and PME are methods that can be used to treat long-range
electrostatics during the simulation, and are not related to
SolvateBox. Those are completely different issues. You *can* use a
solvent box in DFTB simulations in Amber9, but you *cannot* use Ewald
or PME for the long range electrostatics, and so you just need to use
a larger cutoff.
