Colorimetry and dot gain are two different beasts. You make your CMYK
profile from measurements of a printed sheet with a characterization
target. That sheet was printed with a certain dot gain (hopefully
according to some ISO standard or SWOP etc.). The profiling software does
not have to know anything about dot gain, nor could it offer any settings
with regard to dot gain.
