Using Pantone colors is not an option using plain SVG or XSL-FO. Both standard use sRGB by default and support ICC color spaces in addition to that. Everything else means the usage of proprietary extensions.
We now have some support for CMYK and you can specify an output profile to map those CMYK colors into a calibrated space. But that does only work for the XSL-FO part. SVG is a different story. I don't even know if ICC colors in SVG would be handled correctly for PDF output at the moment. If you need more than that, it's Java hacking time in Batik and FOP. :-) If sRGB is out of the question, I'd try in the direction of ICC colors but that might still require some work in both products.
