Scott, I think the Save as PDF command automatically invokes a crop which is causing the reg marks to disappear. Printing to PS using the Adobe PDF printer should be fine.
I would handle the color in this order of preference: 1) Open the Frame files (assuming no new functions in 9 are used) in Frame 7 on the Mac and output to a correctly output CMYK PDF. 2) If your printer will support it, create PostScript/PDF files where you do your own separations from FrameMaker. FrameMaker will correctly separate the files and color integrity is maintained with the separations. I've done several 300+ page 5 color books this way on with Windows side with much success. The problem is finding a printer with a capable pre-press person that can handle the pre-separated files. 3) Output the PDF from the Windows side and post-process the colors.
