No.  The people with real IPs will get constrained by NAT, so it won't be
doing them any good to have real IPs.  You should hang the frame relay
router box off the border router on a non-NATed IP.  You can do this with
some creative ipfw rules.

Like so:
                       Private network customers
                            \    |    /
                             \   |   /
                            10.* addresses
                           / 
                          /
Internet -- [ Border router] 
                         \
                          \  <---  Real IP network (/30 ?)
                           [ FR router ]
                             /  |  \
                            /   |   \
                      FR circuits to customers
