Thinking on (and thinking aloud, beware half-baked ideas in this
email)... If the main page were to be redesigned as a standard HTML page
with a div containing an iframe, it could look (and behave) very
similarly, but the iframe could be sized based on the remaining space on
the page after the top border had taken space.  So:

<html>
 ...
 <body>
  <div id=3D"top">
   ... Contents of current top frame...
  </div>
  <div id=3D"main">
   <iframe width=3D"100%" height=3D"100%" src=3D"..."/>
  </div>
 </body>
</html>

Then standard CSS - or tables - could be used to size the top and main
divs.
