I don't think you need to use dcop; in fact, I don't think it is possible at 
all to use dcop to do what you want.

It seems that what you need is xset(1). See the manual (look for dpms option).
An example:
$ xset dpms 60 300 600
or even
$ xset -dpms

There are also some X11 messages you can pass around to do the same thing 
programatically; AFAIR the extension is XDPMS.
