I can think of one thing you might like to try.

Document a method that plugin writers can implement to support the  
DokuwikiFCK plugin.  If it is relatively simple, you should find that  
over time plugins will come to support it.  If it comes to be an  
important part of DokuWiki I am sure a column can be added to the  
plugin table to indicate whether or not the plugin supports the  
FCKEditor.
