No, Quark will not convert rgb to cmyk in a pdf. You can import into quark but unless the colors are cmyk they will not seperate properly.

If you are placing the PDFs directly into Quark, then the Quark PDF Filter
will automatically convert the color of the PDF to CMYK. If you want to
preserve the spot colors, you need to export Level 1 ASCII postscript from
Acrobat.

If you are going to be working with PDF's for print production, it is imperative that you purchase Enfocus' Pitstop Professional, a plug-in to Acrobat. It will allow you to make the corrections you have described above, as well as numerous other edits to PDF's to obtain satisfactory output results.
If you must use a page layout program to achieve color separations from composite PDF's, you will have more flexibility, as far as import options, using InDesign.
