I have not done DITA with FM before, but I seem to be learning fast (despite the seeming utter randomness of related documentation - lots of reference info, lots of specific procedures, but no single "Here's the procedure to build a user guide in a DITA environment" doc). I got into a project with MindTouch at my former company, and the MindTouch people had zero experience or knowledge of FrameMaker, didn't even have a copy of the software. I don't know if they ever worked it out - I started the new job before that was resolved.
