If you're using ditroff, check out psfig.  It's a pre-processor (a la
pic, grap, eqn, and tbl) for including PostScript files in documents
generated from ditroff source.

There are two versions of psfig, one for embedding PostScript figures in
ditroff source and another for doing so in TeX source.  These are
available in volume 11 and volume 8, respectively, of the
comp.sources.unix archives (available via anonymous ftp from
uunet.uu.net and elsewhere).  Alternatively, it's also available via
anonymous ftp from linc.cis.upenn.edu and this may be a more recent
version, since that's whence the authors hail.

You may still need to make some minor modifications to your FrameMaker
document, but I think psfig for ditroff is pretty robust; it doesn't
require EPSF (Encapsulated PostScript File Format) files.

Good luck.
