You have to attach a CMYK icc profile first (I'm not sure if it's a requirement, but if I remember correctly you have to save and reload in order to apply it). Then, going to CMS tab in the fill/stroke dialog you can set the CMYK values. The resulting SVG file can be opened (mostly) in Scribus 1.5.0trunk, and the CMYK values will be preserved (you can check in the colors dialog, that the imported colors are in CMYK mode instead of RGB as a regular SVG). Scribus doesn't fully support Inkscape SVGs yet, but as far as I know that's already on the works (you can tell by trying Scribus nightlies, SVG support has been improved a lot).

My latest version of Scribus 1.5.0 is dated Oct 4 so my overnight script seems to be working OK. That is my production version of necessity.
I thought that perhaps the path lay through Scribus. For those curious part of the magic of Scribus 1.5.0 is that it will produce a pdf in the x/1-a format which is required by the big POD printer LSI. No other version of Scribus, present or expected soon, has this feature, necessary in my work.
