There are two packages containing no-cygwin DLLs, mingw-zlib and 
mingw-bzip2.

Have you tried to create an import library?  See mingw.org FAQ and
the mailing list archives (cygwin & mingw), both should contain various
recipes how to create an import library.  This is also covered in the
cygwin user guide.

you may also try to build lcms yourself, get the cygwin package, read
/usr/share/doc/lcms.README and the add -mno-cygwin to MY_CFLAGS *and*
to the MY_LDFLAGS variables in the buildscript.
