The Adobe DNG Profile Editor beta for LR2 & ACR 4.5 that can be downloaded together with a bunch of Canon and Nikon camera beta profiles seems to be very useful.
In LR2 the downloaded profiles for my Canon 40D will show up under the Camera Calibration tab. The naming conventions follows the Canon standard with names like Faithful, Landscape, Neutral, Portrait and Standard. IMHO the profiles are not a perfect match to the Canon 40D JPEGs but very close.
The DNG Profile Editor can be used for making adjustments to one of the Adobe supplied profiles (over 400) or to make your own profile from one or two pictures of a GMB ColorChecker.
My best results so far is a 40D profile created from a Tungsten and a daylight shot of the ColorChecker, the biggest problem is to get a good daylight shoot (close to 6500K no color cast). This profile came out as something in between the Faithful and the Standard profile from Adobe
My second best is a 40D profile based on the Nikon D300 standard profile.
