You don't need to convert your images from RGB to CMYK before you import them 
into scribus. Scribus dows take care of that.

The same goes for colors. As Andreas already said: Define a black in RGB and 
let scribus take care of the conversion. You need to make sure that you use 
the same input profiles for your colors and your images, though.

Hope that helps
