Do you have any scripts in /etc/acpi/actions ? Otherwise, the chances are 
that nothing is configured.

Depending on the devices supported by your dock...

    Just port replicator => You need do nothing

    Optical Drive => EITHER use lt_hotswap, OR
       unmount the drive, then use idectl to stop it.

    PCMCIA => cardctl eject.
