What are you interested in (system? properties?). Abinit can certainly 
do calculations on metal clusters, and I've done calculations on niobium 
clusters. I don't think the general advice is much different from other 
cluster calculations. The only thing that comes to mind is that the 
default parameters for diemac and diemix need to be changed, but that's 
well documented.
