Look for the Decompose plugin - ColorsComponentsDecompose... CMYK - you'll get an image with 4 black and white layers. Then you can save each layer as separate files you can use for silk screen. To make shadings with dots, use FilterDistortsNewsprint and play with the settings ;)

Either way, I'd like to hear how you are doing when using GIMP this way. To be 100% honest, I still haven't done too may separations with GIMP yet. I'm slowly gathering all the bits and pieces necc. to replace AI and PS with Inkscape and GIMP - but it's taking a while :) I have used spot
