Yes.
You can save equations in MIF format, which has a prefix syntax for 
operators to describe the structure of mathematical expressions.

If you have an unstructured document in FrameMaker, you can save it 
in MIF Format and extract equations from it, using a simple ASCII 
parser written ad hoc; instead, if you have a structured document, 
exporting in XML you can set read/write rules for equation elements 
in order to have them exported in MIF format. This is also the only 
way to keep equations editable when exporting and then reimporting XML files.
