I've tried Lightroom and Aperture, both seem to do the same thing. However, I have found a processing option in Aperture: "2.0" or "2.0 DNG" for pictures shot in DNG. By default, it just uses 2.0, but the 2.0 DNG processing seems to be a little bit different... more saturated reds, a little less potent blues and greens.
Pentax Photo Lab loads the files as shot, with the color options intact. Problem there is that the program looks and works like a first-year college student dabbling in VisualBasic wrote it.
It makes sense that the RAW files are just that, RAW, but then if the camera is applying post-processing to the pictures as they're played back, isn't that a little misleading as to what you're going to get?
