Not saturation exactly, but different lenses transmit color differently. This mattered much more on film than it does on digital, since white balance and saturation are camera raw sliders.
>Contrast
There's different types of contrast. Global contrast is the thing you adjust when you slide the contrast slider. Besides amounts of contrast, different lenses will be contrasty in different ways.
Micro contrast is "pop," how well it shows subtle differences in contrast and tone between two spots. "Local contrast enhancement" lets you increase this difference in a literal, numerical way, but it's not quite the same as when it comes straight from the lens.
Why? Because lenses all "draw" the picture differently. If you take a picture with one design of 50/1.4, it'll look different from another. Try it out. Go on Flickr and search for "50/1.4 Nikkor," "50/1.4 Canon," etc. They put the light onto the sensor differently, based on their design, the type of glass used, what sort of coatings are put on it, and other factors.
