I think a good plan might be to import into inkscape or gimp, then 
export from there to PNG (and maybe a BIG one, depending on the quality 
you need), then putting that in an image frame in Scribus.

The main reason is that you will have much better, finer-grained control 
over the text you want to add with Scribus.
