I can express any CMYK color in RGB - but not the other way around. Therefore, I "master" all of my print jobs in CMYK, and if I "cut" something like a preview for a client then I use RGB space. So you see, it's actually quite the opposite in my world. This is why GIMP is only a small portion of my day to day work flow - it is not printer-friendly (yes, friendly to the device sitting on your desk, but not a person who is a printer). And I agree that Scribus is coming along nicely and will (hopefully) become a robust page layout program - but I think where GIMP comes into the arena is creating a single image that will be printed (in a magazine, screen printed, newspaper, whatever). Something like PDF+CMYK export is a good first step, but ultimately CMYK editing and channel operations are needed to make GIMP suitable for preparing an image for print.
