Although this is all straying from the original question, don't forget about products like Praxisoft's VectorPro which builds named color profiles from your ICC device profiles and will substitute values in your .ps file for the Pantone colors before you send it to the RIP. This is a solution for composite printers to simulate Pantone colors rather than printing to separations, which is what I think the original question was about.

One workaround I often resort to, in Illustrator at least, it to use some
RGB space for coding the Lab colorimetry of PANTONE colors. That way, CMYK
images remained managed optimally on the way to the printer profile while
RGB colors, really a transposition of PANTONE Lab colors to an RGB color
space of my choice, become managed, as best as they can in RGB, on their way
to the printer profile too. Only problem is that, in Illustrator at least,
one cannot specify a separate intent for RGB colors different from CMYK
colors. In InDesign v2+, where this limitation does not exist, managing
PANTONE colors colorimetrically is a cinch because of direct support for Lab
mode.

What version of Illustrator are you using?</x-tad-smaller>
