I guess in your original post you were referring to "apologists" in the more general sense, in which case, ANYONE who speaks in defense of ANYTHING can be considered an apologist. So yes, there are a lot of individuals who informally apologize/defend Mormonism, for whatever reason.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/apologist(I was thinking more along the lines of our "friends" at FARMS, FAIRS, SHIELDS, etc.)
You mentioned your chiropractor who has obviously been influenced in his opinion on the church because of his happy dealings with a nice Mormon family. But, I don't think ANYONE would ever apologize for Mormonism if they had the complete picture of it (and were playing with a "full deck") and certainly wouldn't be finding fault with recovering Mormons.
