Well I will try it and report back. I use TeX a lot but usually not pdfLaTeX.
I just linked to the head of the discussion, the fact it's on a TeX mailing list is just a coincidence. The suggested command that looked good was:
ps2pdf13 -dEmbedAllFonts -dPDFX=true in.pdf out.pdf
Ghostview (the command behind ps2pdf13) has lots of options to control it, you may need to specify some more options than the above though. It can definitely be told to generate CMYK colors as I've done this before, just never tried to go all the way through to the spec you want.
When you figure it out, sending the commands here would help anybody in the future accomplish the same!
