When reading "a dock", NeXT-oriented window managers such as
WindowMaker come into mind (which I am traditionally using,
but with the dock on the right).

Others may see XFCE (version 3) and Xfce (version 4) which
both have a dock, allthough it may be named differently.

If you're thinking about a dock as Mac OS X implements it, you
can do this with the Avant Window Navigator (AWN).

I'm currently trying to do *this* with FreeBSD:

Maybe it gives you some inspiration or further hints.
