Unfortunately, Inkscape does not support CMYK out of the box. You are better off using Scribus if you want to bring it to CMYK. You can import your .pdf or .svg file into Scribus and export as .pdf, and then on the Color tab "in the Output section , designed for: " select the " Printer ." Scribus is open source and you can get it at scribus.net.
Here is an example of CMYK.pdf generated by Scribus on Ubuntu: http://goo.gl/mflcA4
You can learn more about color management at Scribus here .
