Why do you want to do that?

If your goal is to convert your RAW files into DNG without any
processing, then dngconverter from Kipi-plugins does this very well (and
the adobe DNG converter can be used for free even though it's not "free
software").

If your goal is to save to a lossless format after processing, then DNG
does not seem to be a good idea to me. For example, DNG usually stores
the pixels in bayer format, and you clearly don't want to re-mosaic your
image at the end of the pipeline. By the end of darktable's pipeline, a
target color profile is applied, and it's stored in the generated image
file. I'm not sure DNG would do a good job at this.

OTOH, there are lossless-compression and high bit depth images format
like 16 bits PNG or TIFF and OpenEXR. I don't think DNG would have any
benefit over these for processed images.
