Specifically, are there any spells that enable people to get through silver/ adamantine DR materials? Sorta like the Align Weapon spell but for materials?

I think so. Can't be sure where I saw them, but try the Book of Exalted Deeds.

Polymorph any object

Which just happens to be the prerequisite to craft a weapon with the "metalline" enchantment (Underdark).

I have a vague memory that when 3.5 was first released, one of the designers said something like "We deliberately didn't include a spell to simulate the special materials, so that DR/silver and DR/adamantine actually require you to have a weapon of the correct material, to retain their flavour."

And then the first 3.5 supplement to come out included a spell to simulate the special materials.

But I could be wrong on some or all of that

Nope. Both silvered weapon and adamantine weapon are in BoED, designed by the same man who brought us the full-attack charge, lawful PCs with rage, and all sorts of other goodness.

As in Lion's Charge from Savage Species? Or Psionic Lion's Charge from XPH?

Or something else?

So basically nothing's changed except now the wizard and cleric need to carry a few more scrolls. In 3.0 all you needed was Greater Magic Weapon for DR. Now it just takes more spells. Oi.

From the SRD:
DIRE CHARGE [EPIC]
Prerequisite: Improved Initiative.
Benefit: If the character charges a foe during the first round of combat (or the surprise round, if the character is allowed to act in it), he or she can make a full attack against the opponent charged.
Normal: Without this feat, a character may only make a single attack as part of a charge.
