The setup sounds complicated, but sure, you can do anything
using tcl forces. tcl-forces and tclBC forces allow you to add any kind of
force to your system, as long as you can defined as a tcl command.
You can start reading the user-defined forces tutorial.

For basic tcl scripting, you can take a look at the vmd-tutorial.
Regards.
