Are you sure about that?
I've got a .pdf here which lists:
Application: xdv2pdf
PDF Producer: Mac OS X 10.4.8 Quartz PDFContext
and text in it which is specced in CMYK is listed as such using
Enfocus PitStop, including using the Eyedropper (which used to be
freely available for Acrobat).
It does list the colourspace as ICC Based, but the colour (for the
darkbluetype) is defined as:
Name: Generic CMYK Profile
Base: CMYK
Cyan: 100% Yellow: 0%
Magenta: 70% Black: 25%
Relevant bits of the .tex file are:
\documentclass[dvips, 9pt, twoside, openany, twocolumn, showtrims]
{memoir}
\usepackage[xetex]{color}
\newcommand{\darkbluetype}[1]{\special{color push}\special{color cmyk
1 .7 0 .25}#1\special{color pop}}%c70y25
\newcommand{\processblacktype}[1]{\special{color push}\special{color
cmyk 0 0 0 1}#1\special{color pop}}
\newcommand{\darkredtype}[1]{\special{color push}\special{color cmyk
0 1 .65 .34}#1\special{color pop}}
\newcommand{\registrationColour}[1]{\special{color push}\special
{color cmyk 1 1 1 1}#1\special{color pop}}%
\newcommand{\cmykwhite}[1]{\special{color push}\special{color cmyk 0
0 0 0}#1\special{color pop}}%
