Arena handles RFC castling in pgn format.

I just loaded this FRC game snippet and it displayed correctly,

[Round "?"]
[White "Betsy FRC"]
[Black "Administrator"]
[Result "*"]
[Time "11:02:04"]
[TimeControl "120+0"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "nrnkbbrq/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/NRNKBBRQ w KQkq - 0 1 "]
[Termination "unterminated"]
[PlyCount "12"]
[WhiteType "human"]
[BlackType "human"]
