Thanks to everyone who replied to my post. In addition to the helpful info provided, I've also searched the Scribus archive and found the following post
http://rants.scribus.net/category/kudos/ which highly recommends using Krita for RGB->CMYK conversion. I've tried it out myself and can confirm everything that was said in that post. Even so, since all my images are originally in RGB, I think I'll stick to importing them direclty into Scribus and letting Scribus do all the work.
