Overcoming DR: Damage reduction may be overcome by special materials, magic weapons (any weapon with a +1 or higher enhancement bonus, not counting the enhancement from masterwork quality), certain types of weapons (such as slashing or bludgeoning), and weapons imbued with an alignment.
I'm inclined to say no. Without at least a +1 enhancement something's gonna need to be stated to still count as magic for DR purposes.
A special ability that has a price modifier equal to a +1 enhancement bonus and a +1 enhancement bonus are not the same thing.
Base Price Modifier1
1 Add to enhancement bonus on Table: Weapons to determine total market price.
A magic weapon is enhanced to strike more truly and deliver more damage. Magic weapons have enhancement bonuses ranging from +1 to +5. They apply these bonuses to both attack and damage rolls when used in combat. All magic weapons are also masterwork weapons, but their masterwork bonuses on attack rolls do not stack with their enhancement bonuses on attack rolls.
...
Some magic weapons have special abilities. Special abilities count as additional bonuses for determining the market value of the item, but do not modify attack or damage bonuses (except where specifically noted).

Of course they're not the same thing. That doesn't really pertain to the question though. Unless you're simply trying to claim that a +0 Amulet of Mighty Fists with an ability is not a magic item which I simply can't agree with.
CK, I'll refer you back to the DR rules quoted by Protoman

As Imbicatus says, and this confirms, it is the +1 enhancement bonus that bypasses DR. Simply being magical is not enough.

Yeah, the answer had already been posted. Your response was just an almost-related tangent that didn't really pertain to the discussion at hand. (i.e. his post was actually relevant and I'd already moved on, but posting erroneous info still merited a response)
