Hmm, if the Illustrator file is only CMYK, then the colors you get should
be the same in Photoshop 6. If they were built with a named color system,
you could have a problem. FWIW, SWOP ink black (not rich black) is pretty
light.

Drat I don't have a copy of Illustrator 8 here, but in 9 and 10 you can't
have colors in different modes in the same document. I'm not sure how
Photoshop handles this. I would expect if you rasterize the EPS with mode
CMYK, any CMYK objects should have their color values preserved (black
should come out as 100%K if that's how it's defined in the Illustrator
file). The RGB color would get converted because in Photoshop of all
versions, a document is in one mode at a time.

See what happens if you copy the objects in Illustrator and past them
directly into Photoshop. Works when going into InDesign - not sure about
Photoshop but perhaps worth a try.
