Use InDesign's trapping engine. It works really well, though making zonal traps
is sort of a PITA. Another option would be to Print to File using the Adobe PDF PPD.
This will allow you to print a comp, and if you select In-RIP Seperations you'll end
up with a trapped PDF comp. Using this method could allow for zonal traps if you
adjust you Trap Presets, crop out areas and rebuild them in a new layout using the
trapped results. A PITA, but it'll work. Anyway, then I'd place the trapped PDF back into
a new InDesign layout for imposition and rip seps.
All part of my ghetto workflow, but it's very effective for what we do 8)
