hey adrian. at house of blues, we'd use pantones, uv coating, varnishes and foil. basically, i'd make a separate layer or layer group for your pantone color.
after i'm done with whatever i was working on, i'd flatten and save the cmyk portion. then i'd flatten and save everything with the pantone as another file. i think i saved it as a greyscale. with foil or varnish, i think i had to make whatever i wanted to have it 100% black.
i have an example of it for a cd cover i did. but i need to dig around and find it.
so the printer should be able to print the cmyk and a 5th color: your pantone.
there's also a way to do it with channels. we had a weekly ad in the la weekly that was b/w plus a spot blue. our la venue designer used channels to separate the blues out. just from watching her do it, it looked like a pain in the ass. luckily i never got stuck doing it.
i haven't done this in years, so my info could be a little off.
also, quark outputs cmyk plates and a spot color plate if you specify a spot color. i'm sure indesign can too.
have you asked your printer?
