No, I don't believe NX supports DNG.

We have our own CA correction, but I'm not sure how it compares.

Photoshop does have a few extra features for printing (softproofing)  
if one can stand the terrible experience doing it.  Personally, and  
for many high end printers I know, you can get perfectly acceptable  
results from LR if you wrap your head around it instead of PS.

The Luminous Landscape has a attractively priced tutorial on printing  
from LR by Richman/Schewe that I hear good things about.

That said, I'm a big believer in "if it works" so if you are happy,  
stay that way.
