One can only get spot colours for a bitmap into a .eps (or .pdf)
or .psd.
What one could do using libtiff is split the channels of the file,
toss magenta and cyan, then use a different tool to composite the two
bitmaps, assigning the yellow bitmap to the spot colour --- FreeHand
could do this via scripting, if ConTeXt can place a bitmap on a
particular spot colour plate and control overprinting of bitmaps, one
could handle the balance in it.
