The code of the filter is here:

It seems it uses the "dwithin" filter lookup:

A quick Google search returned this thread on the geodjango mailing list:

It seems what you want to do is possible but not implemented.

You have mainly two options (and can even do both if you want):

subclass DistanceToPointFilter in your project, implement what you need and share the code here
add the possibility to do what you want in drf-gis and submit a patch, this requires adding a test for the new case
