Conversion to DNG is pretty trivial for raw files using Bayer filter sensors. Once the order of the bit patterns is known they all work the same way. However Foveon and what ever Fuji X-trans sensors are enough different to require lots of special processing. I wouldn't be surprised if the DNG conversion of those files completely rewrites the data, as opposed to Bayer data that just requires a common instruction set.

You will need a separate converter. You could upgrade to LR5, convert it to 
Dng, then edit it in LR4 if you wanted.

I have an older mac OSX 10.6.8 with LR version 4.1. I know this would
not have support say oh i don't know say a Fuji XT-1 raw file. Would
LR4 at least know its not a file it can deal with and let me convert
to DNG to use in LR4 or do i need the separate DNG converter from
Adobe, convert and use in LR4.
