GAFF is not set up to handle porphyrins. You might want to look at the heme
parameters in the contrib subdirectory, then modify them by hand for your
charges, and make whatever other changes are made (e.g.adding and Fe-S bond).
You'll have to do some work by hand.

Also, doing a literature search on P450 parameters will probably help as well:
there have been lots of force field simulations of these systems.
