so let me simplify my previous question...I am going to use the frame rate hack to shoot 25 fps on the NTSC version of the HVX.....can I just lay this into a PAL sequence in FCP and viola!?

You'll need to look at the specs for NTSC and PAL side by side to get a full answer to your question. The short answer is no.

No.
The NTSC version of the camera can only shoot 25fps in 720p mode, and even then it isn't really 25fps - it's 24.975 or some fraction like that - meaning your audio will have some sync problems if placed in a 25fps timeline. Even so, you are still at different resolutions - HD to SD PAL, which will require considerable render time in FCP 5.1. (FCP6 is a bit unknown currently.)
You'd be better off shooting 24p and then converting to 25p when you are done.
