But you could also use Latex:

%(table environment example for 5 columns)
\begin{tabular}{ccccc} % 5 columns centered data
blah & blah & blah & blah & blah\\
\end{tabular}

then export to PDF/PS -> EPS. This seems a lot easier to me than firing 
up Calc or Gnumeric just for a table.

But I agree with Petr these are clumsy workarounds that take you out of 
Scribus, then back in; so every time you want to tweak the table you 
have to go out and back in again.

There ought to be a way to use either Latex or HTML as an model to 
accomplish tables, lists, etc.
