According to the T&C found
here. you are not required to give them exclusivity when you publish through DTP:
Quote:

4. Pricing and Program Terms. As part of your Application, you will provide us with a suggested retail price for each Title (“Suggested Retail Price” or “SRP”). The Suggested Retail Price you provide to Amazon must be consistent with the SRP you have provided to other retailers and wholesalers.

However it also appears that you do not have final say over whether or not DRM is used.

10. Technology. You acknowledge that we will be entitled to utilize DRM technology in connection with the distribution of Digital Books but are not obligated to do so. Accordingly, there may be no technology or other limitation imposed by us on copying or transfer of any Digital Book we distribute.

That puts them in the DRM driver's seat.
If I read this correctly you can distribute to the Kindle without DRM, but there's no guarantee it will stay that way as DRM usage is entirely at Amazon's discretion.
