Yes, under Windows all colors are converted into RGB colors because 
FrameMaker uses the Windows GDI printing engine. This is quite 
ridiculous for a layout software but that's the way it is.

What can you do?

There is a Plug-In for Acrobat called "Quite a box of tricks" from Quite 
Software Inc. (http://www.quite.com/box) that converts the colours back 
to CMYK. This is the only solution I know.

If you are working on MacOS and this happens, see knowledge base 
document #324219 (http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/2419a.htm).
