It's very easy to test this. I took three native RAW files into Lightroom and added keywords, then transformed them with the included preset to cyanotype renderings. I then used the Metadata->Save Metadata to Files command. This created the three .xmp files next to the native RAW files. I then exited Lightroom and ran DNG Converter on the folder containing those native RAW files with their .xmp sidecars, outputting DNGs to another folder. When I opened Bridge on the output folder, all the metadata was incorporated into the .DNG files ... keywords and cyanotype rendering.
So the answer is yes: if you have .PEF and .xmp sidecars in the same folder and run DNG Converter on that folder, the .xmp sidecar data will be embedded into the .DNG output files.
