Is there a standard or available Inkscape color palette limited to
colors that can be expressed in CMYK? The colors of course will be
handled as RGB internally within Inkscape but limiting the gamut in
this way will lessen problem later on in my workflow.

Well... the first problem is that there is no single CMYK. Each different set of printer,
paper, etc. can be very different.
You'd need a specific CMYK profile to target and then you can work in that directly in
Inkscape, with it storing all four values, etc.
Even being in the US or being in Europe will significantly change the gamut of 'common
CMYK'.

Nevertheless you can create such palette using CMYK profile for your
expected printing device.
I think you can try using Swatchbooker application for such purposes:

Which particular CMYK profile did you want to limit the RGB colours to?
