I've never tried these two together at once, but I'd
suggest the same approach as with frontpage and cgis.
Keep the miva scripts in a separate directory (start
them with a . and FP won't complain about them, such
as .scripts) and give that dir the
ownwership/permissions miva is expecting. FP won't be
able to edit them (and isn't really capable of doing
it anyway)

FP is a law unto itself, you need to keep it
completely separated from other scripting languages.
