A still frame is still a DV clip which you can't use the "Ken Burns" effect on, but if you look under the file menu there is "Save Frame As" which will save that frame as a jpg. I did a bunch like this. You still have too put the jpg's in iPhoto, but this is a slightly less kludgey process then the one you describe. Good Luck on the project.
