This is a non-trivial task, eh?  I don't have a good answer, but I understand that
FrameMaker International edition can set spelling to either US or UK, and then you 
could run the spellchecker, telling it to globally replace.  You would have to make 
a complete pass, I think, telling it once to go ahead for each word that needs to 
be changed... I haven't seen the International edition, only heard it described. 
a 1.5 Million word dictionary in beaucoup languages (with a UK/US switch)!
