Yes it is fairly common. The magic is in the middle. The configs of the frame CPE and the ATM CPE wuld be the same as if you had frame/ATM respectively on the other side. The only caveat is you will most likely need to use IETF encapsulation on the frame since you will most likely not be terminating on a Cisco for the internetworking component.
