Despite having very different goals, both manga have some similarities. Such as the physical similarities between Ed and Allen as well as the running theme of Good vs Evil. However, D.Gray-man has a "religious" aspect in the manga, while FMA was based upon science and alchemy.
Both of these manga are have a lot of humor in them, but the central plot is more on the sad side. The main characters of both FMA and DGM have some kind of issue with one of their arms, and both series involve rather supernatural things. Each also has a plethora of characters, including "the annoying (but awesome) higher up" and "the 'evil' teacher."
Overall, both DGM and FMA are great series, and should definitely be on everyone's Must Read List.
In many ways Allen Walker, the main character of D.Gray-Man, and Edward Elric, one of the main characters of Fullmetal Alchemist are similar. To the way they try to protect everyone around them even when it means sacrificing themselves, having a weapon for a arm. Both series have similar enemies as well. The antagonist(s) of each series has a grudge against mankind and they believe its their duty to destroy it.
Atypical battle shounen, more found in the drama and the characters than in the fights. Both deals with religious and dark themes, mostly concerned about resurrection. The main character is similar in personality and a bit in looks, and both have a special arm that they use to fight.

"Dark shounen"s.. DGM has some 'dark' qualities that FMA had.. Both have some sad stories / dramas.. Allen (DGM main protagonist) is an intermediate (has and doesn't have some characteristics) of Ed and Al (FMA main protagonists)..
D.Gray-man and Fullmetal Alchemist have a sad plot, but has some humor mixed in it. Both have quite a bit of action, while FMA is more action oriented than DGM, especially later on in DGM. Allen Walker looks and acts somewhat similar to Edward Elric, and the villains, the Noah and the Homunculi, are very similar. Check them both out!

Both have very similar approaches to worldbuilding and similar protagonists. The opening chapters of both are especially similar.
