The only two programs which work with Dreamweaver's file-based locking scheme are Dreamweaver and Contribute. As others have mentioned, it's probably pretty easy to figure out how to write a .lck file, but I haven't tried. If you're going to use tools other than Dreamweaver, I strongly recommend the use of a standard version control server like Subversion - Dreamweaver can certainly work with that. Even if you're just going to use Dreamweaver, I'd still generally recommend that, since Dreamweaver's checkin/checkout is not really a substitute for version control - not by a long shot. The only thing it does is prevent multiple developers from editing a file simultaneously. If you're also using Contribute, you'll have to use it, though, since Contribute relies on it pretty heavily if I recall correctly.
