I'm sure the shadow/gamma feature I referred to is part of the RIP and
not just QTRgui. I just don't know how to access it on the Mac.

Well, perhaps the problem lies in how you are using the ICC profile
rather than the curve itself. I can't help you as to how to use ICC
profiles in the Mac environment. It's probably just like printing in
colour with a profile, but I'm not sure. Perhaps others can help. Does
the softproof show blocked up shadows. Can you print without using the
ICC profile to see what effect it has.
