There isn't a way to force pThumb to do color space conversions. However if you've got things set up right it will do them automatically.
Would be a great feature to be able to use also ImageMagick parameters! Collect them and pass them over. ;-)
And I would love to see pThumb with an optional "resizer" parameter not only with a system wide... ;-)
OK, back to the dirty work:

First, do you have pThumb set to use Resizer or phpThumb? I don't know for sure what phpThumb will do with color spaces, probably nothing (i.e. CMYK stays in CMYK).
Without Resizer, I get CMYK PDF >> CMYK JPG #medium fail# ;-)
And now it gets funny.
With Resizer, I get
CMYK JPG >> RGB JPG #win#
With Resizer, I get
CMYK PDF >> error #fail#
Resizer can convert CMYK JPGs to RGB but cannot handle PDFs! If I turn him off, I get me PDFs processed but the result is a CMYK JPG.
I am doomed. ;-)

If your server meets all these requirements Resizer should automatically do the conversion. I'd start by testing with a jpeg. That'll be simpler than a PDF. Give it a CMYK jpeg with an embedded profile and see whether it comes out RGB.
The JPG get a profile called "sRGB IEC61966-2-1 black scaled".
I would love to use Resizer, but he does not know how to handle PDFs, neither RGB nor CMYK PDFs.

Second, are you using a standard monitor or a wide-gamut one?
A wide-gamut one: NEC 2080UX+. Actually, two. ;-)
Thanks for your help!
