Hi Drew... yes, it's quite easy. Work out the visual dimension of the object you want to bleed, *add* the bleed to it, and draw that on the master. Position it flush to the edge of the page, and then nudge the graphic off the page by an amount equal to the size of the bleed.

If you cut PDF onto a larger 'paper' size than your FrameMaker page, and turn on trims, you should be able to see the bleeds to check their size and positioning.
