you can have a look at:

http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/scribusmailmerge
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Poor_man%27s_mail_merge

even if the given scripts don't work anymore in modern versions of scribus, you may find some ideas in there, how you can implement the functionality you need in a script.

depending on what you need it may be easy to do (and yes, we really need a way to apply character styles from the scripter!)
