Perhaps I'm missing something here, but why not wrap all your TIFF 
images in a protective jacket by saving them as EPS files in Photoshop 
or your image editing tool of choice.

I can't comment first hand on Distiller 7's ability to preserve CMYK 
colors in PS files derived from FrameMaker, but I remember it being 
mentioned here as a "new feature."

This is what Adobe says:

This page has some good points, too:
<http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/apps/framemaker.htm>

FWIW, in the FrameMaker 7: The Complete Reference book by Sarah S. 
O'Keefe and Sheila A. Loring, as a solution to the color conversion 
problem, they say "Use a Mac."

As to Mac FrameMaker being dead, I guess it must be subjective, cause 
it's alive and kicking all around me. In fact, copies appear on eBay 
now and again and there are millions of Macs around that will run it.
