Spot color specification should be done through a  \special..  It is 
entirely managed by PostScript, not by any part of Tex.  So long as you 
output DVI and then go through dvips and some distiller such as ps2pdf, 
I can see no reason why the flavor of *TeX would get in the way. One 
more reason to treasure DVI as an output format.
