Just make a multichannel Photoshop document. Paste the greyscale image into the Black channel and then create a new channel and name it EXACTLY as the specfied Pantone swatch in Freehand (to make sure you only rip two plates). Make sure the new channel is set as a spot color and specify a color in the color picker. This color is only for reference. You usually have to provide a file saved in Photoshop DCS format. If you spec'ed your color right in Photoshop the color swatch will show up in Freehand or Illustrator once you place the image. Ask your printer's tech guys for help if you get stuck.
